The need for the Minister for Health to amend the current regulations under the fair deal scheme that apply to farmers who require nursing home care.
I have also received notice from Senator Maria Byrne of the following matter:
The need for the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Marine to outline the measures his Department has in place to support the recruitment of farm labour through the farm relief service.
I have also received notice from Senator Neale Richmond of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to lay out the short-term and medium-term plans for Ballinteer Educate Together national school.
I have also received notice from Senator Rose Conway-Walsh of the following matter:
