I have also received notice from Senator Maura Hopkins of the following matter:

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion. I have selected Senators Lombard, Kieran O'Donnell and Murnane O'Connor and they will be taken now. Senator Swanick has withdrawn his matter that I had selected. Senators Richmond, Colm Burke and Hopkins may give notice on another day of the matters that they wish to raise.
