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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to clarify the position regarding the development of the national paediatric hospital, its location and cost, the constitution of the board and amounts already spent on preparatory work.

I have also received notice from Senator Michael McCarthy of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to immediately provide funding for the much needed extension to Clonakilty community college.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to review the legislation setting out the framework for the fixing of development levies, with a view to providing for a reduction in such levies to reduce the financial burden on new home owners and businesses.

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

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to exempt fishermen who do not target cod or who have caught less than 1.5% from the days at sea scheme; and to ensure that the polyvalent entitlement of these fishermen is safeguarded.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to contact her counterparts in the North and the Scottish Parliament to exchange ideas on how to curb the abuse of alcohol and its associated health and economic costs.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and I have selected the matters raised by Senators Norris, McCarthy and Regan, and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
