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

The implications for Kilmeaden, County Waterford, of the decision of Glanbia to close the local cheese factory.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to clarify the basis on which mobile phone companies charge VAT at the Irish rate on calls outside the State.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to outline the estimated number of persons working in Ireland who are certified as non-resident for tax purposes, and the estimated loss of potential tax revenue due to current non-residency rules.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline a timescale for upgrading the ambulance service at Scarriff, County Clare, and the establishment of an ambulance service at Shannon, County Clare, and if the Minister will make a statement on the matter.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to make a statement in respect of phase 2B of Mullingar hospital, following her instruction to the Health Service Executive to delay the development of the new facilities at the hospital which is the only acute hospital from Dublin to Sligo; the completion of which is imperative for the provision of an equitable health service for the people of Longford and Westmeath.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Kenneally, Browne, White and Dooley as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and I have selected those raised by Senators Kenneally, Browne and White which will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Bannon as it is repetitious. Senator Dooley may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
