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

The need for the Minister for Defence, in view of the great success of the recent Easter 1916 commemorations, to clarify the current arrangements for the replacement of 1916 and War of Independence medals; and if he has any proposals to review these arrangements this year.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to confirm the retention of four full-time teaching posts at Kilcooley national school, Loughrea, County Galway, given that the pupil intake for 2006-07 will be the same as to the intake for 2004-05.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to clarify the current position on the proposed amalgamation of St. Jarlath's College, Tuam, and St. Patrick's College, Tuam, and the proposed amalgamation of Presentation Convent, Tuam, and Mercy Convent, Tuam.

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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to indicate the help available for young people who suffer from Asperger's syndrome; and the services available for people who reach the age of 18.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected those raised by Senators Wilson, Ulick Burke and Kitt and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator McHugh may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
