I have received notice from Senator Browne that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline progress on the proposed adult autism centre in Myshall, County Carlow.
I have also received notice from Senator Feighan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to outline when the new on-farm investment grant will be available to farmers.
I have also received notice from Senator Finucane of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline when the Shannon Estuary water supply scheme will be extended to supply Loghill, Ballyhahill, Glin and Shanagolden.
I have also received notice from Senator Coghlan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to address seriously the severe lack of telephonic capacity in a large area of County Kerry known as the Black Valley and other similar blackspots scattered throughout the country.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Browne, Feighan and Finucane as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Coghlan as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
