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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to indicate when details of the home subvention package will be available nationwide and the level of assistance to be given to those requiring it under this scheme.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to intervene in the matter of the proposed further development of a saw mill at Leap Castle, County Offaly.

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

The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to outline the steps that will be taken to secure replacement jobs in view of the closure of the Carlow sugar factory.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to report on Iarnród Éireann's plans to provide a pedestrian bridge over the canal at Clonsilla Station to connect with Hansfield Road and to outline why Iarnród Éireann did not complete the planning process in this regard when dealing with the previous application.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to report on the provision of a sports hall for Castleknock Community College, which was approved in 2001.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Ulick Burke, Browne and Morrissey 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 matters raised by Senators Norris and Terry, as the Ministers concerned have no official responsibility in the matters.
