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 a response from the Minister for Foreign Affairs to the proposal contained in a high level report on UN reform that reform should "increase the involvement" of those who contribute most to the UN financially, militarily and diplomatically.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to approve the selected tender for the extension and refurbishment at Moyglass national school, Loughrea, County Galway, as the school has waited for over five years for these works to commence.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the steps she proposes to take to address the shortage of beds at the National Rehabilitation Hospital, DĂșn Laoghaire.

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

The need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to outline his proposals to rectify TV reception in the south Longford-Roscommon-Lanesboro area as RTE 1 and RTE 2 has poor or no TV reception since the final cladding was placed on the new ESB power station at Lanesboro.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Mooney, Ulick Burke and Browne as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Bannon as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
