Vol. 211 No. 8

Business of Seanad

I have notice from Senator Jimmy Harte that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to make a statement on the problem where developers in receivership are not paying ESB bills for sewage pumps in housing estates, in particular, in the Letterkenny area of Glencar and Glenoughty where the ESB has given notice that power will be switched off on 20 November.

I have notice from Senator Thomas Byrne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to discuss the recent flooding in Drumconrath, County Meath and the Office of Public Works' proposed remedial actions.

I have notice from Senator Darragh O'Brien of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality and Defence to confirm that Malahide Garda station will remain as a 24 hour a day full-time station serving the areas of Malahide, Kinsealy and Portmarnock and that the opening hours of this station will not be restricted, or that the station will not be merged with the station in Swords.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to direct Irish Rail to install a lift at Ennis railway station to enable people with mobility impairments to access platforms on both sides.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Harte, Byrne and O'Brien as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Conway as it is an operational matter for Irish Rail.
