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

The need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to outline the amount of money raised annually under the fines scheme for cyclists who do not have a front white and back red light on their bicycles; and to comment on efforts made at European Union level to address the omnipresence of bikes without lights.

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

The need for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to make a statement on the future plans he has for RAPID schemes across disadvantaged areas.

I have also received notice from Senator Liam Twomey of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Finance to give consideration to establishing a national special purpose vehicle, SPV, along the lines of the national loan of the first Dáil which would allow the citizens of Ireland to buy shares in the SPV of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and own this SPV rather than private investors, which could help to further legitimise the NAMA project in the eyes of the ordinary citizens of Ireland.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
