I have notice from Senator Costello that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to make sufficient funds available so as to enable the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God to provide a range of day residential and respite services for all of the people with learning disabilities for whom they are catering.
I have also received notice from Senator Dan Kiely of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to provide extra funding to repair the roads of north Kerry that were damaged due to bad weather experienced over the past few months.
I have also received notice from Senator Finneran of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to provide lottery funds to the national organisation
of the Pioneer Total Abstinence and Leisure Association.
I have also received notice from Senator Glynn of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands to expedite the purchase of cultural, archaeological and historical site of Uisneach in County Westmeath.
I have also received notice from Senator O'Meara of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to investigate the risk to public health from the air and water pollution at the Tailings Pond at Gortmore, Nenagh, County Tipperary.
I have also received notice from Senator Taylor-Quinn of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to make a statement on the continuing fodder crisis that exists in Count Clare and to totally review the current fodder scheme.
I regard the matters raised by Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and I have selected Senators Costello and Kiely's 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.
