I have received notice from Senator Paschal Donohoe 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 an update on his plans for the redevelopment of St. Laurence O'Toole national school, Dublin 1 and to outline the contact he has had with the Dublin Docklands Development Authority regarding this project.
I have also received notice from Senator Denis O'Donovan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to confirm whether funding is in place for the Dunmanway regional water scheme and, if so, when work will commence in 2010.
I have also received notice from Senator Nicky McFadden of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to ensure women under 50 years will be covered by BreastCheck and able to avail of mammograms.
I have also received notice from Senator Joe O'Reilly of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Science to sanction the commencement of an extension to St. Mary's national school, Virginia, County Cavan.
I have also received notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to give an update on progressing sewerage schemes in Newtowncunningham and Moville, County Donegal, and the precise reasons for current delays on these vital schemes.
I have also received notice from Senator Liam Twomey of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Communications, Energy and National Resources to discuss the potential negative effects the 3% levy for the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland could have on jobs and the future viability of local radio stations across Ireland.
I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Communications, Energy and National Resources to make a statement on his plans and those of RTE for the future of the Vanbrugh Quartet which is based in Cork.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Donohoe, O'Donovan, McFadden, O'Reilly and Keaveney as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Donohoe, O'Donovan and McFadden and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matters raised by Senators Twomey and Buttimer as the Minister has no official responsibility in these matters. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise. I call the Leader of the House.
