The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to provide immediate financial assistance to Sligo County Council so as to ensure that, in agreeing a budget for 2015, it does not unfairly penalise the citizens of Sligo and-or its businesses and industrial community because of the council's adherence to the policy as directed by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government .

I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:

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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection to outline the response of the Government to the decision by the European Court of Justice in the Dano case, the number of "welfare tourists" who are being paid social welfare in Ireland and the action, if any, the Government will take if the Government of the United Kingdom introduces restrictions on access to unemployment benefits.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to comment on the current position and future of the acute psychiatric unit, Navan, County Meath.

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

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Paul Bradford, Paul Coghlan, John Whelan and Marc MacSharry and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Fidelma Healy Eames, Paschal Mooney, Thomas Byrne and Colm Burke may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
