I have notice from Senator Burke that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment to make finance available for the upgrading of Castlebar swimming pool.
I have also received notice from Senator Calnan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to ensure that the remedial works, for which he has already provided money, will get under way in order to prevent flooding of houses, business premises, private property and roads in the Long Bridge, Dunmanway area, County Cork.
I have also received notice from Senator Hayes of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to give an update on the resolution passed at a recent meeting of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs which called on the Government to call upon the European Union and the United Nations to obtain guarantees for the safe return of Belen Toras and Raul Ramos to Colombia.
I have also received notice from Senator Finneran of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to provide the necessary funding to the Irish Wheelchair Association for its proposed national respite and holiday centre at Donamon, County Roscommon.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senator Burke's and Senator Calnan's matters and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Hayes and Senator Finneran may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
