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

The need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to outline the current position with regard to the allocation of compensation following the cessation of sugar production and the closure of the sugar industry in Ireland.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to outline the current status of the development of a search and rescue facility at Doolin, County Clare.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to clarify the tax relief available to those paying maintenance towards the upkeep of their children and if the same tax relief applies to married people who may be paying maintenance for children born outside the marriage.

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.
