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 urgent need for the Minister for Defence to reverse his decision to close Connolly Barracks, Longford, in the light of the adverse effects on the economic viability of County Longford which will result from the loss of 180 full-time jobs and the disruption which will be caused by the proposed relocation of Army personnel and their families, who are an integral part of the local community; (2) Deputy Kieran O'Donnell — the provision of adult day service places at the Daughters of Charity Centre for the Intellectually Disabled, Lisnagry, Limerick; (3) Deputy Joe Costello — the need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to take appropriate measures to ensure that churches that have been deconsecrated are secured and maintained as part of the national heritage and that those who perpetrated the vandalism on the Methodist Church, Jones Road, Dublin 3, are prosecuted and made restore the church; (4) Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh — the need for the Department of Education and Science to immediately allow the works promised for St Brigid's girls national school, Palmerstown, Dublin 20, to be carried out; (5) Deputy Thomas P. Broughan — the proposed sale by Dublin City Council of land at Belmayne, Dublin 13, to a developer; (6) Deputy Lucinda Creighton — the recommendation of the Dublin and Cities Electoral Area Boundary Committee to divide Sandymount Village into two separate electoral areas; (7) Deputy John O'Mahony — the closure of Harristown House Addiction Treatment Facility, Castlerea, County Roscommon; (8) Deputy Pat Breen — the impact of the €10 air travel tax on Shannon and other airports in the west and south; and (9) Deputy Tom Hayes — the lack of water treatment facilities in south Tipperary and the consequent poor supply of good quality water.

The matters raised by Deputies Pat Breen, Kieran O'Donnell, Lucinda Creighton and Tom Hayes have been selected for discussion.
