I have received notice from Senator John Paul Phelan 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 current position on the provision of a new fire station at Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to clarify the progress on the seven village sewerage scheme application submitted by Waterford County Council and the reason the foreshore license that is required has not yet been approved.

I have also received notice from Senator Fiona O'Malley of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to address the House on the EU directive on data retention with which Ireland has not yet complied and which constitutes an invasion of privacy.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to hasten the process for Irish citizens to adopt children from overseas.

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