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

The need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to outline the up-to-date position regarding the rehabilitation of the tailings pond and other mine sites in the Silvermines area in Nenagh, County Tipperary, given that a full report has been furnished to him regarding this issue in recent weeks.

I have also received notice from Senator John Paul Phelan on the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to provide funding to facilitate the construction of a new swimming pool in Kilkenny in light of the extreme deterioration of facilities at the venue due to regular closures, thus displacing some 250 swimmers.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to explain the prohibition on a Nigerian woman who is a qualified nurse from engaging in full-time paid employment.

I regard the matters raised by Senators O'Meara, John Paul Phelan and Bannon as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
