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 Finance to ensure that monuments such as An Grianan in Burt, County Donegal have late opening hours.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to comment on the ongoing staffing problems around the opening of the new emergency department in Drogheda Hospital which has no set opening date; and the need to maintain funding to the out-patient department at Louth County Hospital in Dundalk in spite of the funding cuts to accident and emergency departments recently announced.

I have also received notice from Senator Ciaran Cannon of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to indicate the reason an application dated 25 September 2007 to carry out works at Lorro Gate, Athenry, County Galway has not been responded to.

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

I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Cannon as this Adjournment matter is repetitious.
