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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, as a matter of urgency, to give An Daingean its proper placename of Dingle-Daingean Uí Chúis as determined in a plebiscite held in 2006.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to restore general practitioner services at Ballinagh health centre in County Cavan without delay.

I have also received notice from Senator Terry Leyden of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to make a statement on the Government's decision to accept no new recruits at the Garda training College in Templemore for at least two years.

I have also received notice from Senator Paschal Mooney of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to clarify the budget proposal to increase registration fees for third level students, specifically with regard to the way it will affect families with two or more students in third level education.

I have also received notice from Senator Kathryn Reilly of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to address the high number of patients on trolleys and chairs in the accident and emergency departments of public hospitals.

I have also received notice from Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to set out the up-to-date details on the roll-out of the rural broadband scheme and to clarify whether this new scheme will provide access to broadband for all unserviced premises throughout the country.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Sheahan, Wilson, Leyden and Mooney and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Reilly and Ó Domhnaill may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
