I have also received notice from Senator John Paul Phelan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline the internal policies which resulted in a child (details supplied) who was sanctioned for two and a half hours' weekly resource teaching in November 2004 remaining without this support for 19 months; and the reason the sanctioned hours were not communicated to the school.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to extend the community mothers' programme, which has been operating in the Dublin area for the past seven years, to the greater Blanchardstown area.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to provide an update on phase 2B of the Mullingar Hospital development.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to outline the present position on the visa application of a person (details supplied) and the need to give compassionate consideration to the request.

I regard the matters raised by Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and have selected the matters raised by Senators Wilson, Cummins and Finucane which will be taken at the conclusion of business. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
