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 Bernard Durkan — the urgent and pressing issue of mortgage supplement in the case of a person where the HSE is only prepared to assist on a 50% basis as the mortgage is in joint names but there is a barring order against her husband, and if the Minister will make a statement on the matter (details supplied); (2) Deputy Joe Costello — the provision of funding for the Centre for Deaf Studies, TCD, Drumcondra, Dublin 9; (3) Deputy Finian McGrath — the provision of a quality education service on the northside of Dublin; (4) Deputy James Bannon — the need for the Minister for Finance to establish a mortgage rescue scheme to minimise mortgage repossession, which is a potentially major cause of homelessness; (5) Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh — the provision of funding for the Inchicore community development project; and (6) Deputy Joe Carey — the need to reconsider the cutbacks proposed in view of the negative impacts they will have on Coláiste Mhuire and on St. Flannan's College, Ennis, County Clare.

The matters raised by Deputies Ó Snodaigh, Costello, McGrath and Carey have been selected for discussion.
