I have received notice from Senator Browne 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 allow the Askea girls' national school, Carlow, to retain its 11th mainstream teacher in light of the fact that there are 307 students enrolled in the school for September 2006 and they had 291 students in September 2005.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to give an update on the schemes a parent of a child in a special needs school might access during the summer school holiday period to ensure continued classes, tuition, supports, etc., and whether schools can be requested to continue classes for the child concerned and on what basis.

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.
