I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Colm Burke, Mooney, Kelly and Wilson and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. As the matters raised by Senators Wilson and Reilly are similar I suggest they share time. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
