I have received notice from Senator Liam Twomey that, on the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minster for Health and Children to clarify if the 24 hours a day, seven days a week accident and emergency services at Wexford General Hospital are under threat and the Government policy on the recent announcements by the HSE regarding accident and emergency services at Wexford General Hospital.
I have also received notice from Senator Nicky McFadden of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to reverse the decision to close Loughloe House nursing home, Athlone, County Westmeath.
I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport to make a statement on her strategy to attract visitors to Ireland and assist the tourism industry.
I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to clarify the resources she will provide to make Cregmore national school, Cregmore, County Galway a safer location, further to her supportive telephone call to the school following the horrific road accident on 28 April, in which life was seriously threatened and 11 vehicles were demolished.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Towmey, McFadden and Buttimer and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Healy Eames may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
