I have received notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport to outline when the arts in education sub-committee report arising from the Arts Act 2003 will be published and acted upon.
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 current and future rehabilitation services in Cork.
I have also received notice from Senator David Norris of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to take a strong stand against the use of depleted uranium weapons.
I have also received notice from Senator James Carroll of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to intervene to ensure the immediate opening of the emergency department in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, County Louth.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Keaveney, Buttimer and Norris as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the Adjournment matter raised by Senator Carroll as it is repetitious.
