Business of Seanad.

 

2:30 pm

Rory Kiely (Fianna Fail)

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to make a statement on the future of the Tanagh Outdoor Education Centre, Dartrey, Rockcorry, County Monaghan.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to address the long-promised delivery of the 14-bed extension to Kenmare Hospital, County Kerry, given that this extension was a priority for the Southern Health Board in 1999-2000 but has not since been prioritised.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to give an update on the proposed community hospital in Ballinamore, County Leitrim, the estimated number of beds and when it is envisaged work will commence on the project.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to provide an update on the application by Scoil Etchen, Kinnegad, County Westmeath, for a proposed building project which is urgently required to facilitate the demand for places at the school caused by the increased population levels in Kinnegad.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to clarify if the policy of printing numbers of motor insurance companies on insurance discs is necessary or if the policy numbers could be printed on the reverse of the insurance discs to prevent fraud.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to preserve and upgrade the existing rail service at both Ballybrophy and Templemore stations due to increased passenger demands.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Wilson, Coghlan, Feighan, Bannon and Kitt as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected those raised by Senators Wilson, Coghlan and Feighan and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Bannon and Kitt may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Kieran Phelan as the Minister has no official responsibly in the matter. It is a matter for Iarnród Éireann.
