I have received notice from Senator Averil Power that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to ensure the Government will proactively endorse the bid to host the 2018 Gay Games in Limerick, given that the games would be worth up to €80 million to the city and Ireland more generally and that the alternative bids from London and Paris have been officially endorsed by David Cameron and François Hollande; and if he will ensure the Government provides every possible support for the site visit of the Federation of Gay Games from 1 to 5 July 2013.
I have also received notice from Senator David Cullinane of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to make a statement on fishing stocks in the Waterford estuary, the performance of the fishing industry in Waterford and the south-east, future plans to develop the industry in the county and the supports that are being provided to fishermen who are no longer employed in their traditional sectors of salmon, bass and eel fishing along the Waterford estuary.
I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to give an update on the reasons for the delay in amalgamating the three post-primary schools in Ennistymon, County Clare, and to outline when this project will proceed to the next phase.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
