I have notice from Senator Mooney that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to investigate the reasons the Lough Allen Canal from Leitrim town to Acres Lake has not been properly maintained, the result of which is a deterioration of the canal on both banks, which if not rectified could prevent the normal passage of cruiser traffic leading to a serious reduction in tourists; and the subsequent adverse economic impact on Drumshanbo and Leitrim.
I also received notice from Senator Neville of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment to include the Coast Road between Limerick and Tarbert, the N69, for investment under the operational programme for peripherality.
I also received notice from Senator Norris of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the light of the report adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the case of Mr. Raoul Wallenberg to express to the Soviet authorities in Moscow the wish of the Irish people that they should: (1) reopen the file on Mr. Raoul Wallenberg and his driver, Mr. Vilmos Lanofender, and to state unambiguously what has become of them; (2) to allow an international commission made up of historians and other experts access to all the relevant archives; (3) and, presuming that they are alive, to return them immediately to freedom and their families.
I also received notice from Senator Raftery of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Marine to take the necessary steps to make safe the pier and breakwater in Ballycotton harbour, which are in a very dangerous condition following the storms in 1990.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Mooney, Neville, Norris and Raftery as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Mooney's matter and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Neville, Norris and Raftery may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
