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

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

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to make a statement on fertiliser tariffs.

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

The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to make a statement on the method of appointment of special rapporteurs by the United Nations Human Rights Council.

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

The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for sport and the Gaeltacht to provide an update on the Government’s proposal to host the 2024 America’s Cup yacht race in Cork.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to provide funding for the expansion of Westdoc services in Galway.

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

The need for the Minister for Education to provide an update on the status of the school building project for Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire, 4 Cearnóg Pharnell, Baile Átha Cliath 1.

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

The need for the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to make a statement on the need for a career structure for staff in the childcare sector.

I have also received notice from Senator Fiona O’Loughlin of the following matter:

The need for the Minster for Justice to make a statement on plans to ensure street safety in County Kildare.

Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected those raised by Senators Boyhan, Gallagher, Mullen and Doherty and they will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator O’Loughlin on the ground that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
