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

Go dtabharfaidh an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta ráiteas maidir leis na pleananna atá ag an Rialtas chun ionad mínithe a thógáil ag Teach an Phiarsaigh i Ros Muc, Contae na Gaillimhe agus an mbeidh sé seo déanta in am don chlár comórtha 100 bliain ar Éirí Amach 1916.

I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Social Protection to outline when persons, details supplied, in County Clare will be issued with decisions on their invalidity pension appeals.

I have also received notice from Senator Mark Daly of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Marine and Food to clarify if those who have had horses in the past five years allowed as stock numbers for disadvantage payment will be allowed to continue to use horses for stocking rates in the future.

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

The need for the Minister for Defence to confirm the position regarding the retention of Custume Barracks, Athlone, County Westmeath, and the retention of the headquarters of the 4th Western Brigade at Custume Barracks, Athlone, County Westmeath, and to refute speculation that the headquarters is to be moved to Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin, or elsewhere.

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.
