I have received notice from Senator Martin Conway that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to allow members of the Garda Reserve who have a minimum of two years’ service and who wish to become members of An Garda Síochána to proceed to interview level as a matter of course.
I have also received notice from Senator David Cullinane of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to outline the supports being put in place by the Government to protect jobs and wage levels at Bausch & Lomb in Waterford, the level of contact that took place between the Minister, his Department and the IDA before the announcement of job losses and pay cuts last Thursday, 29 May, and his views on the exclusion of the workforce and its trade union, SIPTU, from discussions leading up to that announcement.
I have also received notice from Senator Hildegarde Naughton of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to address the failure of the IDA to meet its FDI targets for areas outside Dublin and Cork.
I have also received notice from Senator Averil Power of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht to accept that the role of women in Irish history and in the foundation of our State has not been sufficiently acknowledged in our public works of art and commemorative projects, to indicate if the Government is supporting the installation of any public works of art as part of the centenary commemorations that specifically recognise the contribution of women to that period of our history, and to reconsider the proposal for a sculpture of Ms Molly O’Reilly.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
