I have received notice from Senator John McGahon that, on the motion of the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the provision of public electric vehicle, EV, charge points for people who do not have access to private driveways.
I have also received notice from Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to make a statement on the implications of the UK Nationality and Borders Bill on non-Irish EU and non-EU citizens living in the State who wish to travel to Northern Ireland.
I have also received notice from Senator Robbie Gallagher of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the extension of the Northern Ireland planned healthcare scheme into 2022.
I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the use of the emergency motorcycle response service in Cork city.
I have also received notice from Senator Fintan Warfield of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to make a statement on the development of the youth homelessness strategy, including LGBT youth homelessness.
I have also received notice from Senator Malcolm Byrne of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science to provide an update on the implementation of the recommendations of the Cassells report on higher education funding.
Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators McGahon, Ó Donnghaile, Gallagher and Buttimer and they will be taken now. I regret that I have to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Byrne on the grounds that it is a repeat of a Commencement matter raised on 6 October 2021. Senator Warfield may give notice on another day on the matter that he wishes to raise.
