I have 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 Finance to examine the recent situation in which a bank operating in Ireland, details supplied, seriously breached liquidity regulations.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to clarify, in respect of diagnostic laboratory services, her comments in Dáil Éireann on 8 December 2009 with respect to clinical laboratory services in the HSE.

I have also received notice from Senator Denis O'Donovan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport to restore the Cork-Swansea ferry in advance of this year's tourism season.

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 give an update on progressing sewerage schemes in Newtowncunningham and Moville, County Donegal, and the precise reasons for current delays on these vital schemes.

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

The need for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to make a statement on the future role of Fáilte Ireland training centres in providing training courses for people who are unemployed in Cork, Dublin and Waterford, and to refer to the 2007 to 2009 figures.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Norris, Healy Eames and O'Donovan 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.
