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

The need for the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, in light of recent figures published by the Central Statistics Office which showed that between April 2011 and April 2012 emigration rose to 87,100, to clarify the reason he is not doing more to stop this brain-drain.

I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:

Go ndéanfaidh an tAire Comhshaoil, Pobail agus Rialtais Áitiúil ráiteas maidir leis an gclár Leader sa Ghaeltacht, na socruithe atá déanta faoi agus na buiséid atá le caitheamh, chomh maith le stádas na dtograí a bhí ceadaithe faoi scáth Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teoranta roimhe seo.

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

The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to clarify the future of the Malin Head Coast Guard station.

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

To ask if the Minister for Health is aware of the adverse impact of and distress being caused to Down's syndrome and autistic children and adults and their families by the drastic reduction in residential respite care services provided by the Muiriosa Foundation at its facilities in Mountrath and Abbeyleix, County Laois.

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.
