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

The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to review his decision to refuse an employment permit in respect of a person (details supplied).

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to clarify her intentions in regard to the implementation of the recommendations contained in the McIver report of the steering group to the PLC review of 2003.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to make a statement on the progress of the application for a new primary school in Rochestown in Cork.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to intervene in the case of a South African citizen (name supplied) who has applied for citizenship for himself, his wife and his daughter, each of whom is being processed inexplicably on a different timescale.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline her position on the regulation of cosmetic surgery clinics and cosmetic surgeons in light of the tragic death of a patient at the Advanced Cosmetic Clinic after treatment by a French surgeon.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Shane Ross, Dominic Hannigan and Jerry Buttimer and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators David Norris and Frances Fitzgerald may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
