Rory Kiely (Fianna Fail)

I have received notice from Senator Brennan that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make a statement on the up-to-date position on the Patrickswell-Adare sewerage scheme, County Limerick, scheduled to start in 2005 in the Water Services Investment Programme 2004-06.

I have also received notice from Senator Ross of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to guarantee the future of the music school at Waterford Institute of Technology.

I have also received notice from Senator Browne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to clarify who is responsible for school children before and after the core school hours when the children are still on the school premises.

I have also received notice from Senator Ulick Burke of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science as a matter of urgency to appoint a visiting teacher for the deaf in County Galway as no replacement has been appointed since a retirement earlier in the year and all the students in need are without this specialised service at present.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Brennan, Ross and Browne and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Ulick Burke may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
