I have received notice from Senator Martin Conway 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 to comment on the proposed use of the HSE building known as Avonree in Kilrush, County Clare by an organisation (details supplied).
I have also received notice from Senator David Cullinane of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to outline his plans for 24-7 cardiology cover at Waterford Regional Hospital and to increase current services.
I have also received notice from Senator Terry Leyden of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to provide a rapid response ambulance service in County Roscommon, to outline the total number of ambulances, their location and the personnel available in the county each day and to explain the unsatisfactory response times.
I have also received notice from Senator Tom Sheahan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to detail whether he has proposals to make the wearing of high visibility jackets by cyclists and pedestrians compulsory.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion and they will be taken now.
