Vol. 180 No. 21

Business of Seanad.

An Cathaoirleach

I have received notice from Senator Coghlan that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to act immediately to ensure that the internationally known brand name of Dingle survives and is permitted in the promotion and signage of An Daingean outside of the Gaeltacht and to remedy the situation whereby foreign tourists are driving around Kerry with maps in English and road signs in Irish.

Mr. O’Toole

Hear, hear.

Ms O’Rourke

Senator Coghlan will be a hero.

Mr. J. Phelan

He is already.

An Cathaoirleach

I have also received notice from Senator Tuffy of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Defence to provide an update on the urgent need to set up a meeting between his Department, the Department of Transport, the Irish Aviation Authority, South Dublin County Council and Kildare County Council to discuss the current and future use and development of Weston Aerodrome, Lucan, County Dublin.

I have also received notice from Senator Bannon of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to clarify the anomaly with regard to the deportation of persons (details supplied) and the ensuing forced separation from their children.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
