I have received notice from Senators Ciaran Cannon that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to outline when construction of a new school will commence to replace the seriously dilapidated facilities at St. Catherine's national school, Aughrim, Ballinasloe, County Galway.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to investigate the recent incursion by Bus Éireann school transport into the catchment area of St. Aidan's comprehensive school, Cootehill, County Cavan and to take the appropriate action to ensure this incursion is reversed.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to outline the supports available for householders to improve the comfort and general efficiency of their homes, with special mention of the grants, if any, available to re-pipe old lead water systems, insulate roofs and deal with issues of damp or heat loss.

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

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to verify the timeframe for delivery of the recommended extension to Calasanctius College, Oranmore, County Galway.

I have also received notice from Senator Ned O'Sullivan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to undertake a review of the Cahirdown roundabout, Listowel, County Kerry, with a view to having it reconstructed in the interests of public safety and in the light of recent serious accidents at the junction.

I have also received notice from Senator Nicky McFadden of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport to guarantee the bus service in Athlone and its environs.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Cannon, O'Reilly, Keaveney and Healy Eames as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Cannon, O'Reilly and Keaveney and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matters raised by Senators O'Sullivan and McFadden as the Minister has no official responsibility in these matters. Senator Healy Eames may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
