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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline the details of the deer fencing programmes intended to protect woodland and wildlife and to allow for the regeneration of some 200 acres of ancient oak and yew woods in Killarney National Park; how this conforms with the EU habitats directive and the UNESCO biosphere reserve designation and if he will explain his rationale.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to confirm the up-to-date position of a water supply for Ballygar, Co. Galway.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to facilitate the introduction of licensed competition and choice in the waste compliance sector.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to clarify when the site for the proposed new community college in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim will be purchased and the progress to date.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform to give the up-to-date position regarding requests by a number of community groups and residents associations for CCTV cameras in a number of places in Clondalkin.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to co-ordinate and plan in conjunction with Galway County Council and North Tipperary County Council an appropriate plan for the Portumna bridge over the River Shannon, factoring in current and future transport needs, population growth, housing, education and the future commercial development of the town.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Coghlan, Kitt, Ross, Feighan and Tuffy as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senators Coghlan, Kitt and Ross and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Feighan and Tuffy may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Ulick Burke as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
