I have received notice from Senator Kate Walsh that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the plans, if any, she has to increase the number of beds for cancer care to serve the population of 100,000 in north Kildare; if she will give consideration to using some of the existing beds in the Maynooth community unit for such care, in view of the fact that currently St. Brigid's Hospice, the Curragh, is the nearest such facility and this imposes undue hardship on patients and their families.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline the present position on the provision of a gymnasium at St. Raphael's College, Loughrea, County Galway.

I have received notice from Senator Tuffy of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to give an up-to-date list indicating which primary schools in the Dublin Mid-West constituency, from 1997 to date, requested funding for either building works or repair and refurbishment works; which of those schools were approved for the requested funding to date and, of those, the projects which have commenced or completed; and which of those schools still have their requests outstanding, either not yet approved, refused or not yet at commencement or completion stage.

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