I have received notice from Senator Jennifer Murnane O'Connor that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the lengthy waiting lists for public dental assessment or treatment in CHO5.

I have also received notice from Senator Rónán Mullen of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to resource Individual Education Plans for children with special needs in light of concerns expressed by the Association of Secondary Teachers, Ireland, ASTI, and the Teachers' Union of Ireland, TUI, that teachers are not adequately resourced to implement these plans.

I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin of the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Kevin Humphreys of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to provide an update on the measures being taken on the BusConnects and MetroLink projects to keep costs within budget.

I have also received notice from Senator Rose Conway-Walsh of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to outline the measures being taken to alleviate the effects of a no-deal Brexit on regional airports, in particular Ireland West Airport.

I have also received notice from Senator Tim Lombard of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government to outline the role of local authorities in addressing public health and safety concerns arising from the dereliction of privately-owned buildings.

I have also received notice from Senator Maria Byrne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to provide an update on the timeline for the development of a 60 modular bed block at University Hospital Limerick.

The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion and I have selected Senators O'Connor, Conway and Mullen and they will be taken now.

Senator Ó Ríordáin has withdrawn his Commencement matter, which I had originally selected. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters that they wish to raise.
