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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to give an update on the current situation regarding the extension to St. Eunan's College, Letterkenny, County Donegal.

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.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline the breakdown of funding given to promote national heritage week on a county basis.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to indicate the steps that are being undertaken to honour her commitment in July 2005 to provide additional capital funding to St. Luke's Hospital in Kilkenny.

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

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism to clarify the position regarding funding of genealogical projects by the Irish Genealogical Project, as funding of projects other than its own seems not to be within the remit of the IGP, precluding all other projects and effecting a situation that is adverse to the advancement of Irish genealogy as a whole.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to give an update on progress to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio in our schools; particularly in rapidly developing towns such as Swords in north Dublin, where the population has recently risen by 22%.

I regard the matters raised by Senators McHugh, Dooley, Feighan, Browne, Bannon and Morrissey as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected those raised by Senators McHugh, Dooley and Feighan and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Browne, Bannon and Morrissey may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
