Vol. 224 No. 11

Business of Seanad

I have received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

An gá go dtabharfaidh an tAire Sláinte soiléiriú, i bhfianaise an tuairisc HIQA maidir leis an dteicneolaíocht ArtAssist, an bhfuil sé i gceist aige treoir a thabhairt d'Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte úsáíd na teicneolaíochta seo a cheadú d'othair sa seirbhís sláinte poiblí.

I have also received notice from Senator Averil Power of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to amend the current regulations for third level fees so that someone who acquires Irish citizenship during his or her period of study can have his or her fee status changed from that point forward.

I have also received notice from Senator Lorraine Higgins of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to indicate if he has discussed with financial institutions the impact of new legislation on valuations of homeowners' properties and the potential number of repossessions arising from the introduction of this legislation.

I have also received notice from Senator Thomas Byrne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to discuss the recent review of local electoral area boundaries, with particular reference to the anomalies in the boundaries chosen for certain districts in County Meath.

I have also received notice from Senator Mary Moran of the following matter:

To need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to address the concerns of residents in an estate in Dundalk (details supplied), the ongoing issues of anti-social behaviour there and the reasons requests to have a wall heightened to deter such behaviour was denied by Louth County Council despite a recent plebiscite.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Trevor Ó Clochartaigh, Averil Power, Thomas Byrne and Lorraine Higgins as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Moran as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
