Seanad Éireann debate -

Vol. 244 No. 9

Business of Seanad

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 to liaise with the HSE to secure the appointment of a director of research, which would boost the profile of medical research in this country and ensure it was given the priority it needed.

I have also received notice from Senator David Cullinane of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Social Protection to outline the process in place to support former Waterford Crystal workers who are not members of Unite, who left Waterford Crystal prior to 1992 and previously settled with the Irish Pensions Trust in 2009 but who believe they are due compensation following the recent EU ruling on accessing compensation.

I have also received notice from Senator Catherine Noone of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality, in view of the perception that there is an increased threat to Ireland from within the Middle East, to outline the security arrangements that have been made in Ireland.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion. However, as they have all withdrawn their Commencement matters, the sitting is suspended until 12.30 p.m.

Sitting suspended at 11.35 a.m. and resumed at 12.30 p.m.
