I have notice from Senator Denis O'Donovan that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to give an update on the Bandon main drainage and sewerage scheme, confirm there is adequate funding ring-fenced to progress and complete this project, and confirm when work will recommence and the likely completion date.
I have also received notice from Senator Jillian van Turnhout of the following matter:
To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to advise of future plans for the scheme to support national organisations beyond its current extended period of June 2014, outline whether the focus or awarding criteria will change, and indicate when a decision can be expected by organisations trying to plan budgets for 2014.
I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to give details of all the applicants, both successful and unsuccessful, the assessment criteria used and the amounts of money allocated to successful applicants by the Office for the Promotion of Migrant Integration, OPMI, under the European Refugee Fund and European Integration Fund.
I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:
The urgent need for the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to intervene to ensure National Parks and Wildlife Service approval to allow remedial works to proceed at Seanadh Phéistín Bridge, Connemara.
I regard the matters raised by Senators O'Donovan, van Turnhout and Ó Clochartaigh as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret that I must rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Healy Eames as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
