I have notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs to make a statement on his plans for CDP projects and his Department's position on the "alternative model of engagement".

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

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to clarify if she is aware that St. Joseph's School, Waterford, a designated special needs educational facility, has been without a speech and language therapist since May 2009.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport to outline the timescale for the promised upgrading for the meteorological radio station in Malin Head, County Donegal.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to increase the extracted area of quarries to 5 hectares to enable compliant and legal small quarries to remain viable.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Buttimer, Phelan and Keaveney and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Healy-Eames may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
