Vol. 186 No. 18

Business of Seanad.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to make provision to support Drumnigh Montessori primary school, Donaghmede, Dublin 13.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to clarify the rationale behind the omission of systemic lupus erythematosus and other forms of lupus from the long-term illness scheme, given that this illness shares the major characteristics of the other illnesses on the long-term illness scheme, namely, that it is both long-term and debilitating.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to encourage and support the joint efforts of the trustees of Muckross House and the National Parks and Wildlife Service in carrying out a comprehensive botanical survey of Innisfallen Island with a view to obtaining the fullest information on the ancient monastic settlement and the lives of the monks, particularly in regard to their cultivation of the island gardens thereon detailing the plants, shrubs and herbs with medicinal properties.

I would say there is some substance in that.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to provide funding for the provision of an internal toilet to replace the external toilets at Ballyguiltenane primary school, Glin, County Limerick.

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