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 James Bannon — the need to set up a cancer care centre of excellence unit in Longford-Westmeath General Hospital; (2) Deputy Pat Breen — the reason an extension to a school (details supplied) in County Clare has not been progressed, if the Minister will update him on the current situation, as the school was originally built for 175 pupils and now 300 pupils are being forced to operate in substandard prefabricated accommodation; (3) Deputy Joan Burton — the delay in opening the special unit for children with special needs in a school in Castleknock, Dublin 15; (4) Deputy Jack Wall — the need to fill vacancies for occupational therapists in the Kildare and west Wicklow area; and (5) Deputy Michael D. Higgins — the need to clarify the circumstances in which civilian aircraft, on lease to the CIA, are not being searched at Shannon Airport.

The matters raised by Deputies Bannon, Wall, Burton and Michael D. Higgins have been selected for discussion.
