Vol. 182 No. 20

Business of Seanad.

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

The need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to review the current disability pass scheme, to allow persons who are in receipt of this pass to travel on public transport during peak times when they are going to or from their school or college as a means of encouraging persons with a disability to remain in full-time education and to be supported by the State through this scheme.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline the present position on Milltown sewerage scheme, Tuam, County Galway.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline the current status of the new primary school for Kilfinane, County Limerick; the remaining stages to be followed; the timescale for these stages; when she anticipates construction will commence and the length of time construction will take.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to outline if it is his intention to recruit the much needed additional driving testers from outside the Department as opposed to within the Department, where there is already available a pool of highly qualified driving testers with the relevant experience, knowledge and expertise.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Brian Hayes, Kitt and Finucane and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Ulick Burke may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
