I have received notice from Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to give approval to allow the Dungloe and Glenties sewerage schemes, County Donegal proceed to tender stage and set a time frame for completion.
I have also received notice from Senator Rónán Mullen of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, with regard to the dental treatment benefit scheme, to accept that the State has an obligation to offer dental coverage to 2 million people and that the abolition of this scheme would have a negative effect on public health and cost the Exchequer €112 million per year.
I have also received notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to recognise the level of domestic violence and its implications for our society.
I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to make a statement on his plans to integrate the community development programme and the local development social inclusion programme.
I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline how funding can be secured for a private road in a major residential area, namely, Derrydonnell North, Oranmore, County Galway, to alleviate current and future flooding.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Ó Domhnaill, Mullen, Keaveney and Buttimer as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected for discussion, the matters raised by Senators Ó Domhnaill, Mullen and Keaveney and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Healy Eames as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. Senator Buttimer may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
