I have received notice from Senator Catherine Noone that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to consider the installation of phone box or similar style defibrillators in all towns and villages to facilitate identification and access.
I have also received notice from Senator Frank Feighan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to set out the present position regarding the proposed development of and funding for integrated education in Northern Ireland.
I have also received notice from Senator Maria Byrne of the following matter:
The need for the Minister of Transport, Tourism and Sport to consider the inclusion of Limerick city on the Wild Atlantic Way corridor.
I have also received notice from Senator Ray Butler of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to clarify as a matter of urgency how an imminent reduction in the service of the No. 111 bus route from Athboy to Dublin via Trim can constitute an "enhanced bus service for the customers in the towns of Athboy and Trim and their environs."
I regard the matters raised by three of the Senators as suitable for discussion and have selected Senators Noone, Feighan and Byrne, who will be taken now. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Butler on the ground that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
