Business of Seanad
I have received notice from Senator John Crown that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The urgent need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to reinstate the funding which the Neurological Alliance of Ireland has received for the past eight years.
I have also received notice from Senator Darragh O’Brien of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to report on the progress made by the Pyrite Remediation Board since it opened for applications, with a particular emphasis on those homeowners who have applied for remediation, and whether the developer of their homes continues to trade and may be involved in litigation.
I have also received notice from Senator Michael Comiskey of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government to examine the possibility of a tax credit for people who have paid tax on a road haulage vehicle which subsequently is not in use for the duration of time for which it is taxed.
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 Martin Conway of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to clarify the reason for the loss of funding to the Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association through the scheme to support national organisations.
I have also received notice from Senator Denis Landy of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Defence to discuss the recently published "Review of Certain Matters Relating to Bord na gCon" prepared by Indecon International Consultants.
I have also received notice from Senator Mary Moran of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to provide full-time podiatry service for diabetes patients in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Crown, O’Brien, Ó Clochartaigh and Comiskey as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Conway, Landy and Moran may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
