I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 21 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Walsh — the affordable housing scheme at Clonakilty, County Cork; (2) Deputy Cowley — to ask the Minister the reason the Health and Safety Authority refused to investigate a fatal road traffic accident on the Culdaff Road, Donegal (details supplied); (3) Deputy Costello — the need for the Minister to implement the findings of the review report on the Carmichael Centre, North Brunswick Street, Dublin 7; (4) Deputy Perry — the need for the Minister to hold off further work on mobile phone masts until a full public consultation process has been completed; (5) Deputy Finian McGrath — the potential loss of the 12th classroom teacher at Scoil Mhuire Marino, Griffith Avenue, Dublin; (6) Deputy Michael Moynihan — the proposed termination of Iarnród Éireann's unit load rail container business and to ask the Minister to discuss this decision in light of the role played in transport decisions by considerations of falling fuel resources worldwide and of maximising Ireland's freedom in coming years from excessive dependence on foreign fuels, and to enlarge upon ways in which Department policies can help prevent damage to Ireland's long-term transport needs caused by short-sighted decisions based purely on current profit considerations; (7) Deputy Burton — the publication of the Mercer worldwide cost of living survey 2005 showing that Dublin is now ranked the 13th most expensive city in the world; (8) Deputy Howlin — the ongoing crisis in the accident and emergency unit at Wexford General Hospital; (9) Deputy Gogarty — the need for the Minister to order a full investigation into the circumstances involving the death of a person (details supplied) at St. Brendan's Hospital; (10) Deputy O'Dowd — the need for the Minister for Health and Children to discuss the treatment of the elderly in the Leas Cross nursing home; and (11) Deputy Ned O'Keeffe — the failure of Enterprise Ireland to provide jobs and replacement jobs in Mitchelstown, County Cork.

The matters raised by Deputies Howlin, Gogarty, Perry and Ned O'Keeffe have been selected for discussion.
