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 Social and Family Affairs to consider granting extra paid maternity leave for mothers of babies that are born with serious birth defects and who require constant supervision and care for at least the first year of their life.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to outline the details of the plans for the future of Dublin Port in light of the decision not to move the facility and the stalled land reclamation plans.

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.
