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

The need for the Minister for Finance to surrender a portion of the surplus lands at Farmleigh for the purpose of providing a cemetery, and if he will enter into discussions with religious leaders in the Dublin 15 area with a view to bringing this about.

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

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to indicate when funding will be made available for the swimming pool in Loughrea, County Galway, and how advanced the plans are for its construction.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to provide capital funding to St. Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny, in order that the accident and emergency and outpatient departments be upgraded, and that a new canteen be provided for both staff and visitors.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to clarify the situation regarding the intended future usage of Killarney House and the immediate vicinity thereof, particularly the gardens.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to outline the present position on the application for naturalisation and permission to remain in the State of a person (details supplied).

I have also received notice from Senator O'Meara on the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to announce his decision regarding recommendations made to him for the rehabilitation of the tailings pond and other mine sites at Silvermines, Nenagh, County Tipperary, in light of the fact that the report of the recommendations has been with him for a number of months and is awaited by the community.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and I have selected the matters raised by Senators Terry, Ulick Burke and Browne and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Coghlan, Tuffy and O'Meara may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
