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

The need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to clarify the position regarding his refusal to grant an orphan's contributory allowance or supplementary welfare allowance to the grandparents of two young children (details supplied).

I have also received notice from Senator McDowell that he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to take action to combat the worrying increase in the rate of sexually transmitted infections in Ireland and that initiatives (details supplied) be taken as a matter of urgency to combat the problem.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
