I have received notice from Senator O'Sullivan that, on the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to reassess the means testing for disabled person's maintenance allowance payments, particularly where the spouse or partner is employed on a community employment scheme.
I have also received notice from Senator Rory Kiely on the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht to provide funding by way of a reasonable grant to Shoestring Theatre and Arts Club, Charleville, County Cork.
I have also received notice from Senator Sherlock on the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment to introduce a home improvement grant and water installation grant.
I have also received notice from Senator Neville on the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Social Welfare to change the eligibility for payment of unemployment benefit and unemployment assistance to non regular dockers in Foynes Harbour, County Limerick.
I regard the matters raised as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator O'Sullivan, and Senator Kiely, matters and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
