I have received notice from Senator Kathryn Reilly that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to discuss the flexibility arrangements that will be put in place by the Revenue Commissioners for the application of section 82 of the Finance Act.
I have also received notice from Senator Lorraine Higgins of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to state if he will introduce funding for incomplete estates which do not satisfy the unfinished estates criteria laid down by county or city councils.
I have also received notice from Senator Ivana Bacik of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to inform the House when Committee Stage of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill will resume in the Dáil and the likely timeframe for passage of this important legislation.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Kathryn Reilly and Lorraine Higgins as suitable for discussion and they will be taken now. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the issue raised by Senator Ivana Bacik as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
