I have received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames 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, in the light of the current block on Russian adoptions, to give a timeline by which the block can be lifted in order that Irish adoptions can recommence with Russia.

I have also received notice from Senator Brendan Ryan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to sanction the immediate opening of the new state-of-the-art Rush Library, County Dublin, in the converted 19th century St. Maur's Church, which has been completed and ready for operation since the end of September 2009 and which has been short-listed for the World Architecture Award but which cannot open owing to the embargo on public service recruitment.

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 Pearse Doherty of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Finance to bring forward proposals that will see an end to the application of vehicle registration tax in the State.

I have also received notice from Senator Diarmuid Wilson of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation to act immediately regarding the job losses in Quinn Insurance Limited.

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

The need for the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport to make a statement on her strategy to attract visitors to Ireland and assist the tourism industry.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Healy Eames, Ryan and McFadden 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.
