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 Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin — the need for the Minister for Health and Children to revisit the fundamentally flawed community child care subvention scheme; (2) Deputy Michael McGrath — the support being given to the Cork docklands project; (3) Deputy Lucinda Creighton — the use of the Iveagh Gardens for sports facilities; (4) Deputy Tom Hayes — the provision of funding for the roof of Ardscoil na mBráithre, Clonmel, County Tipperary; (5) Deputy Mary Upton — to ensure that Drimnagh Castle secondary school, Walkinstown, Dublin 12 be immediately given the promised funding for the school's leaving certificate technology programme; (6) Deputy Bernard J. Durkan — the urgent and pressing issue of the matter of home support for the family of an individual, when these services will be reinstated to the family and if the Minister will make a statement on the matter; (7) Deputy Andrew Doyle — the high incidence of contamination of bottled water; (8) Deputy Dan Neville — the bilateral agreement between Ireland and Belarus covering visits here by Belorussian children under the auspice of Chernobyl Aid Ireland; (9) Deputy James Bannon — the urgent need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to recognise the need to counteract Government neglect of County Longford in the light of increasing live register figures and the loss of economic stability caused by the announcement of the closure of Connolly Barracks; and (10) Deputy Joe McHugh — to ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to clarify his Department's position on the future of the fishing of the white fish fleet in Area 6A of Irish waters.

The matters raised by Deputies Doyle, Michael McGrath, Neville and Tom Hayes have been selected for discussion.
