I have received 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 Foreign Affairs to provide substantial assistance for the people of Zimbabwe during the cholera epidemic.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to give approval to allow the Finn Valley college project to proceed to procurement and contract during the first quarter of 2009.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to clarify whether Luas line extensions, specifically the Grangegorman line, metro north and metro west, are still due to happen and, if so, the new start and completion dates for these three projects.

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

The need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to make a statement on the crisis facing the pig industry and the measures he proposes to take to safeguard its future.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Ross, Ó Domhnaill and Donohoe and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. The matter raised by Senator Bradford is an important one but is too wide for an Adjournment debate. I understand from the Leader of the House that we will have statements on the matter tomorrow.
