I have received notice from Senator Wilson that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to outline the steps that will be taken to secure replacement jobs in view of the closure of Ezy Koter Limited, Virginia, County Cavan.
I have also received notice from Senator Henry of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the reasons for the inadequate funding and staffing of the Jonathan Swift centre for psychiatric patients attached to St. James's Hospital, Dublin 8.
I have also received notice from Senator Ulick Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to provide funding to the Health Service Executive for the provision of a health and day care centre on the site owned by County Galway Vocational Education Committee at Gort, County Galway, and to indicate if funding was sought for this project by the former Western Health Board.
I have also received notice from Senator MacSharry of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to establish an employment task force for Sligo, given that 80 jobs have been lost in Saehan Media over the past eight months with a further 70 redundancies announced yesterday.
I have also received notice from Senator Cummins of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to assess the provision of resources for Waterford County Council to comply with EPA guidelines for the remediation of landfill sites in Dungarvan and Tramore.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Wilson, Henry, Burke and MacSharry as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Wilson, Henry and Burke and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator MacSharry may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise. I regret I must rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Cummins as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
