I have received notice from Senator Tuffy that on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to give an update on the provision of additional permanent building accommodation for St. Andrew's national school, Lucan.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to report on the decision of the European Court of Justice and its possible impact on Irish workers when it ruled that length of service is a legitimate criterion on which to award higher pay rates to certain workers and that employers do not have to justify on a case-by-case basis their pay structures based on the length of service.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the reasons facilities for children and adolescents who need to be detained under the Mental Health Act 2001 due to come into force on 1 November are not in place, particularly given that if such children are detained in a place deemed unsuitable, those responsible may be brought before the courts and subjected to a custodial sentence or a fine.

I have also received notice from Senator John Paul Phelan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline the reasons for her failure to give a devolved grant for a building extension to scoil náisiúnta na Maighdine Muire, Ardattin, County Carlow, in either 2004 or 2005 and to outline the current position regarding the necessary funds for this extension.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and I have selected the matters raised by Senators Tuffy, Terry and Henry and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator John Paul Phelan may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
