I have received notice from Senator Colm Burke that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and the HSE to establish community intervention teams in each area of the country so as to reduce the number of admissions from nursing homes to hospitals.
I have also received notice from Senator Thomas Byrne of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to explain the eviction, without formality, by the HSE of a disabled man (details supplied) from Caridas House, Drumconrath, Navan, County Meath, and to set out proposals to rehouse this man.
I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:
Go dtabharfaidh an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta le fios an bhfuil sé i gceist ag an Rialtas maoiniú a chur ar fáil do thionscadal bóithre pobail faoi scáth na Ranna, i gcomhair le hÚdarás na Gaeltachta nó aon ghníomhaireachtaí Stáit eile, le obair fheabhsúcháin a dhéanamh ar bhóithre pobail na Gaeltachta.
I have also received notice from Senator David Cullinane of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs to outline what Government funding has been allocated in Waterford city and county under the school completion programme annually since 2011, what funding is being allocated in 2015, if he is aware of the impact funding cuts is having on service provision and if he will make a statement on the future of the school completion programme.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion and they will be taken now.
