I have received notice from Senator Keaveney that, on the adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to clarify the delay in providing an important facility for the RNLI in Buncrana, County Donegal and the implications for safety at sea if this continues.

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

The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to review the community employment schemes programme in order to allow all existing participants over 50 years of age to continue to work on the schemes until age 65 if they are unable to gain alternative employment, particularly where evidence exists that such is the case.

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

The need for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to give an update on the decentralisation of Foras Na Gaeilge to Gweedore, County Donegal.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to provide an update on the progress made towards delivering integrated ticketing for public transport.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to provide an update on the progress and implementation of the Garda Síochána-local authority joint policing committees provided for in the Garda Síochána Act 2005.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to make a statement on the urgent need for the provision of a new national school at Ballygarven, County Cork.

I regard the matters raised as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected Senators Keaveney, Coghlan and Ó Domhnaill and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Donohoe, Leyden and Buttimer may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
