The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to include Scoil Mhuire, Stranorlar, County Donegal in the Government’s school building capital programme.
I have also received notice from Senator John Whelan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to set out the numbers and status of those in the various apprenticeship schemes, as well as the proposals her Department has for SOLAS to reform and revamp the apprenticeship programme with a view to addressing current shortcomings and making it more fit for purpose for trainees and employers.
I have also received notice from Senator Rónán Mullen of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to explain, in the light of the provisions on the family in Article 41 of the Constitution, why Ireland voted against UN Resolution A/HRC/26/L.20/Rev.1 on the protection of the family at the United Nations Human Rights Council on 26 June 2014.
I have also received notice from Senator Tom Sheahan of the following matter:

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

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Brian Ó Domhnaill, John Whelan, Rónán Mullen and Tom Sheahan and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Martin Conway may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
