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 Senators Seán Kyne and Barry Ward of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Social Protection to make a statement on the measures being put in place to support Ukrainian refugees as they arrive in Ireland.
I have also received notice from Senator Garret Ahearn of the following matter:
The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for heritage and electoral reform to amend the Wildlife Act 1976 to extend the period to burn vegetation from 1 March to April.
I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:
