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 Agriculture and Food to indicate the number of submissions that have been received regarding restructuring aid in the context of the reform of the EU sugar regime and when she plans to make a decision on same; and the factors she will take into account when deciding the compensation to be paid to the different groups affected by the closure of both the Carlow and Mallow sugar plants.

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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to establish the reason the capital development project at Ennis General Hospital has not proceeded to the planning application stage in line with the projected schedule.

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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to clarify when the Alzheimer's unit will be constructed at St. Ita's Hospital, Newcastle West, County Limerick.

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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to release €2 million to Beaumont Hospital for a living donor transplantation programme; if this has been delayed due to concerns by the HSE in regard to the hospital's financial position; and if the HSE wants to ensure that the €2 million is ring-fenced for a living donor programme.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Browne, Dooley and Finucane and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Feighan may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
