Vol. 190 No. 10

Business of Seanad.

I have notice from Senator Pearse Doherty 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 ensure the proper dispersion of the student services charge by higher education institutions throughout Ireland.

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

To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline the Government's waste management policy; its policy in regard to incineration; the role, if any, he sees for incineration in waste management in Ireland and both the number and capacity of incinerators he considers is required.

I have also received notice from Senator John Paul Phelan of the following matter:

To ask the Minister for Health and Children to clarify the reason the family of a person (details supplied) was refused payment under the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006 and if she will make a statement on the issue that several thousand such claims were rejected on the grounds of private hospitalisation despite the fact no health board alternative was available.

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

To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to ensure that RTE's FM service is received all over Northern Ireland, thereby enabling residents of Northern Ireland to access RTE.

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

To ask the Minister for Health and Children to outline if she is satisfied that the current policies on the investigation of deaths in hospital through negligence are adequate.

I regard the matters raised by Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and I have selected Senators Doherty, Fitzgerald and John Paul Phelan and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. The remaining Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
