I have notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:


The need for the Minister for Social Protection to outline the progress in amending the Civil Registration Act 2004 to enable the Irish registration of deaths of those who die abroad.
I have also received notice from Senator Tony Mulcahy of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Social Protection to outline the number of medical assessors dealing with domiciliary care allowance applications and to clarify the necessary qualifications of these assessors.
I have also received notice from Senator Mark Daly of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to give an update on the transfer of Elizabeth Fort in Cork city to Cork City Council.
I have also received notice from Senator John Whelan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance, as the major stakeholder on behalf of the taxpayer and State, to intervene and effect the postponement by AIB of its decision to close 56 branches, such as in Portarlington, County Laois, and the measures AIB has put in place with An Post to address the security implications for many regional towns due to cash in transit and loss of night safe facilities for hundreds of local businesses.
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.
