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 Ó Snodaigh — the impending closure of St. Michael's CBS in St. Michael's Estate, Dublin 8; (2) Deputy Upton — the impending closure of St. Michael's CBS in St. Michael's Estate, Dublin 8; (3) Deputy Ardagh — the impending closure of St. Michael's CBS in St. Michael's Estate, Dublin 8; (4) Deputy Neville — to discuss an increase in financial aid for the growing of miscanthus; (5) Deputy Deenihan — the need to provide funding for essential remedial, structural, operational and safety work at Fenit Harbour, County Kerry; (6) Deputy Costello — the need for the Minister to review the decision to transfer FÁS to Birr in light of the poor take-up rate of staff and the failure of the Government to honour the Labour Court agreement; and (7) Deputy Morgan — the recent change whereby Louth County Hospital in Dundalk no longer deals with paediatric accident and emergency cases so that children with even minor injuries are now required to be sent to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda or Cavan General Hospital, and the necessity for the Minister for Health and Children to outline when those paediatric accident and emergency facilities will be restored at Louth County Hospital.

The matters raised by Deputies Deenihan, Ó Snodaigh, Upton and Ardagh have been selected for discussion.
