Vol. 196 No. 12

Business of Seanad.

I have received notice from Senator Joe O'Reilly 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 provide home based tuition for the month of July for children classified by the National Council for Special Education as having moderate learning disability.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to consider the establishment of micro-credit banks similar to the system successfully existing in the developing world as a means of providing credit for the poor in the present economic climate and to counteract the exploitation of people by moneylenders.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to resolve the stand-off between his Department and Killarney jarveys in regard to the ongoing horse dung issue which obviously needs consultation and dialogue involving all the parties and the licensing authority.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to halt cutbacks in the hours and services for home help recipients in County Donegal.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to make a statement on plans to improve waiting times for drug rehabilitation, intervention and detox facilities in the Cork region.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline Government policy on respite care services in Cherry Orchard Hospital, Dublin, in light of recent cutbacks which have seen this service extremely curtailed and disrupted.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and have selected the matters raised by Senators O'Reilly, McFadden and Coghlan to be taken at the conclusion of business. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
