I have received notice from Senator David Norris that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to review as a matter of urgency the significant increase in the registration fee for pharmacy students and the timing of the deadline for payment of this fee.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the progress made to date on the establishment of a satellite radiotherapy centre for the north west.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to use his influence with the banks by asking them to allow hard pressed mortgage holders who entered fixed rate home loan agreements within the past two years to renegotiate new rates at current variable or fixed mortgage rates.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to report on his interactions with his Northern counterparts to address the international port status of Magilligan, which has placed an economic noose on the Foyle ferry that is currently out for re-tender and is in need of a change of security status for this cross-Border project to thrive.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to direct Iarnród Éireann to discontinue parking charges and clamping, including a fine of €120, at weekends in Booterstown and Dalkey DART stations in the Dún Laoghaire area.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Norris, Doherty and Healy Eames 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 Regan as the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. Senator Keaveney may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
