I have received notice from Senator Terry Leyden that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Courts Service to refurbish the courthouse in Roscommon town to provide a modern courts service once Roscommon County Council's new civic offices are completed later this year.
I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to appoint disability officers in each local authority area who would have specific responsibilities to deal with individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities resident in local authority houses.
I have also received notice from Senator Averil Power of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to ensure a certain percentage of jobs are allocated to local people in the Dublin docklands redevelopment in line with the arrangements used for the Grangegorman development.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion and they will be taken now.
