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 Joe Costello — the provision of funding for the Irish Family Planning Association; (2) Deputy Pat Breen — the future of Aer Lingus jobs currently based at Shannon Airport; (3) Deputy Jimmy Deenihan — the recent sinking of the Asgard II and the possibility of the Jeanie Johnston replacing it as the national sail training ship; (4) Deputy Ciarán Lynch — the appointment of two members of local authorities to the Private Residential Tenancies Board; and (5) Deputy James Bannon — the need for the Minister for Education and Science to provide an up-date on a commencement date for the new school building at Forgney national school, County Longford, which is urgently required to replace the 40 year old prefab structure and which was approved two years ago in November 2006 in an announcement of a new building programme by the then Minister for Education and Science, under which 72 primary schools nationwide were allocated funding.

The matters raised by Deputies Costello, Breen, Deenihan and Lynch have been selected for discussion.
