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

The need for the Minister for Transport to outline his response to the closure of Circle Line and the implications for commuters in the Dublin area.

I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport to confirm his commitment to the western rail corridor, the single public transport project in the west of Ireland, and his commitment to the funding and the time frame for delivery of the project.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make a statement on the pollution risks to the people of Cork following the discovery of toxic-hazardous waste at Haulbowline Island.

I have also received notice from Senator Joe O'Reilly of the following matter:

To ask the Minister for Education and Science when it is proposed to sanction additional necessary and urgent improvements to the sewage and water systems at St. Phelim's national school, Leiter, Bailieborough, Co. Cavan.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Fitzgerald, Healy Eames and Buttimer and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator O'Reilly may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
