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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make a decision on the route for the Waterford city bypass as a matter of urgency.

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

The need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to specify the procedures that are in place or to be put in place for the purchase of power from offshore windfarms.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline the internal policies which resulted in a child who was sanctioned for two and a half hours weekly resource teaching in November 2003 remaining without this support for 19 months after the sanction and the reason the sanctioned hours were not communicated to the school despite numerous inquiries by the school and Senator Phelan.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to provide an update on phase 2B of the Mullingar Hospital development.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matter raised by Senators Cummins, Morrissey and Phelan 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.
