Vol. 192 No. 7

Business of Seanad.

I have notice from Senator David 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 Foreign Affairs to intervene at the highest level of the United Nations on behalf of the Roma refugees in Kosovo in the village of Zikovac whose lives are being threatened by toxic waste deposits.

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

The need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to address the backlog of applications, from people who have recently lost their jobs, for social welfare supports in County Donegal, which has left many of them without any social welfare supports for periods up to and over two months.

I have received notice from Senator Denis O'Donovan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to give the up-to-date position on funding that was made available some years ago for the refurbishment of the community swimming pool in Dunmanway, County Cork, and if he will advise whether this funding is still available.

I have received notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to examine the potential to link PRSI contributions in the UK with those made in Ireland.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Norris, Doherty and O'Donovan as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Keaveney may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
