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

The need for the Minister for Health to discuss the proposed centralisation of medical cards with effect from 1 July and the negative effects it will have on discretionary cases.

I have also received notice from Senator Thomas Byrne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to outline the omission from the first progress report of the Croke Park agreement of the costs of redundancies and pensions.

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

The need for the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government to clarify the position on the need for a new fire station in Bundoran, Ballyshannon and Glencolumcille, County Donegal, and a timeframe for construction of each station.

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