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

The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to proceed with Ireland's accession to the Antarctic Treaty 1959.

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

The urgent need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to intervene with ESB International and Hibernian Wind Energy which are developing a wind farm at Derrybrien in County Galway in order to allay the fears of local residents that no further danger will occur as a result of development works on site; and if he will satisfy the residents that these companies have complied with their statutory duties and have not violated conditions of planning associated with this development.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
