Vol. 233 No. 1

Business of Seanad

I have received notice from Senator Marie Moloney that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to outline whether he has any proposals to extend the BreastCheck service to women between 65 and 69 years of age.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to advise of a suitable placement for a school leaver, details supplied, with an intellectual disability and who will require placement from September.

I have also received notice from Senator Denis Landy of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to provide a comprehensive update on the current situation pertaining to the control of ash dieback and on ash stock level projections in the short, medium and long term.

I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to consider a nationwide expansion of the small areas policing programme currently operated by An Garda Síochána in Dublin.

I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to include Rwanda in Irish Aid's programme for support in view of its critical stage of development and by way of marking the 20th anniversary this week of the ending of the genocide.

I have also received notice from Senator Cáit Keane of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to discuss the requirement for a permanent school building for staff and pupils of Gaelscoil na Giúise in Firhouse, Dublin 24, who are currently operating out of Tymon Bawn Community Centre, which is not suitable for this purpose in view of its overcrowded and inadequate facilities which are shared with other organisations.

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 clarify the planning criteria which currently apply and will apply to applications for planning permission, whether under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006, for windfarms and whether guidelines expected to be published soon will apply to planning applications already submitted before their publication.

I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:

Go dtabharfaidh an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta le fios céard atá beartaithe ag a Roinn maidir leis na haerstráicí ar an gCloigeann agus Inis Bó Finne i gContae na Gaillimhe.

I have also received notice from Senator Michael Comiskey of the following matter:

The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for public and commuter transport to confirm how many staff currently employed by the rural transport programme will have their positions made redundant due to the restructuring of the programme into the 18 transport coordination units and to confirm what redundancy package is being offered to those staff members whose positions are being made redundant.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Moran, Keane, Byrne and Healy Eames as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.

Senators Landy, Conway, Moloney and Ó Clochartaigh may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Comiskey as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
