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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to report on the establishment of a national hotline number for missing children and the initiation, by Ireland, of the operation of the agreed common EU number for missing children and to indicate if this can be done on an all-Ireland basis.

I have also received notice from Senator Dominic Hannigan of the following matter:

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Science to clarify if she will support moves to progress the tendering and construction of a new sports hall facility for Ashbourne community school, Ashbourne, County Meath.

I have also received notice from Senator Mark Dearey of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to outline his response to the running and result of the recent multi-party election in Sudan which has been widely judged, within and without, as fraudulent and grossly maladministered.

I have also received notice from Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to provide funding under the strategic road grants scheme for the Donegal airport regional road.

I have also received notice from Senator Paschal Donohoe of the following matter:

The need for the Minister of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to provide an update on planned prisoner rehabilitation facilities in Wolfe Tone Street, Dublin 1 and, specifically, the level of public consultation delivered, the planning permission sought for work at this site and the role of the new facility.

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

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to outline the reason the garden-nursery sector was not included in the recent frost damage scheme.

I have also received notice from Senator John Paul Phelan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to outline both the supports available to community enterprise centres nationally and the proposals to help these centres survive the economic downturn.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Corrigan, Hannigan and Dearey 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.
