I have received notice from Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to impose regulatory restrictions on recreational lobster fishing.

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to clarify the reason it is not possible for HSE West to appoint a permanent senior audiological scientist while more than 1,000 hearing impaired children in County Galway await a hearing assessment.

I have also received notice from Senator Maria Corrigan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to give an update on implementation of the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 with regard to the designated professions and to indicate if a timeframe can be estimated for consideration of the request made by the Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy to be registered as a designated profession within the meaning of section 4 of the Act.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to clarify the plans, if any, he has to regulate or licence under the Maritime Safety Act the use of jet skis, especially for the category of those under the age of 18 years.

I have also received notice from Senator Pearse Doherty of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to outline the progress made, if any, to introduce a broadband scheme to provide broadband coverage in areas outside the scope of the rural broadband scheme such as the townland of Drumkeen, County Donegal.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Ó Domhnaill, Cannon, Corrigan and Keaveney as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Ó Domhnaill, Cannon and Corrigan and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Keaveney may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise. I regret that I have had to rule out of order the Adjournment matter raised by Senator Doherty, as it is repetitious.
