I have also received notice from Senator Howard on the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the proposal by the Eastern Health Board to locate a drug rehabilitation unit in Weir Home, Cork Street, Dublin 8, and on the anxiety that this proposal is causing residents of the home, residents in the area, and on the location of drug rehabilitation units generally.
I have also received notice from Senator Mooney on the following matter:
