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 Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to indicate the timeframe for the permanent appointment to Letterkenny General Hospital of a consultant breast surgeon, the roll-out of breast screening to all parts of the country and the timeframe for the approved 70 extra beds at Letterkenny General Hospital.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to take urgent action to alleviate the serious financial loss incurred by farmers in the Shannon River basin of County Offaly due to the serious flooding of their farm lands.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to outline the Garda manpower figures for Carlow town.

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.
