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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline staffing arrangements for shelters for the homeless, including new buildings co-funded by the HSE and by other bodies.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to allow the site acquisition for a new school at Gortahork, County Donegal, to proceed to the next stage.

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

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to outline his plans for the new Abbey Theatre in Dublin.

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

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to make a statement on initiatives planned by him to secure the ongoing Irish open golf.

I regard the matters raised by Senators McFadden, Ó Domhnaill and Coghlan as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Buttimer as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter — it is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland.
