I have received notice from Senator Mooney 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 make a statement on reasons behind a decision of the European Union to place the Kurdish organisation KONGRA-GEL on its list of terrorist groups.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to explain the reason grants to the technological section research programme have been curtailed or eliminated in some cases by his Department.

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

The need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to review the role of ALAB.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to outline the current status of nine outstanding grant applications under the equal opportunities child care programme made by community child care groups in County Longford.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators Mooney, Henry and McHugh as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Bannon may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
