I have received notice from Senator Fiona O'Loughlin that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for special education and inclusion to make a statement on the issues being experienced by children and their families in seeking assistive technology.
I have also received notice from Senator Seán Kyne of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to carry out an assessment on whether bye-laws Nos. 806 and 809 of 2006, as they relate to inland fisheries, are compatible with the EU habitats directive.
I have also received notice from Senator Lynn Boylan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for heritage and electoral reform to make a statement on reports of disturbance of wildlife at OPW-managed properties.
I have also received notice from Senator Robbie Gallagher of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to make a statement on the Government’s efforts to address the issue of the undocumented Irish in the United States.
I have also received notice from Senator Victor Boyhan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the Limerick-Shannon metropolitan transport strategy.
I have also received notice from Senator Maria Byrne of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice to make a statement on the barriers facing non-fluent English speakers in reporting sexual and gender-based violence.
I have also received notice from Senator Tim Lombard of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Rural and Community Development to make a statement on the provision of funding for agricultural shows.
I have also received notice from Senator Garrett Ahearn of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education to provide an update on an emergency works scheme application for Donaskeigh National School, County Tipperary.
I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to carry out a review of the Shannondoc out-of-hours GP service.
Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators O’Loughlin, Kyne, Boylan and Gallagher, and they will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Victor Boyhan on the ground that it is a repeat of a Commencement matter raised on 17 February 2022. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
