I have also received notice from Senator Shane Ross of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport to remove the non-executive directors of CIE for their refusal to give evidence to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport.

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

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Ryan, Ross and Phelan 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.
