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

To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality when he expects to make an announcement following the review of the new licensing regime as introduced by the Private Security Authority in relation to security installations, particularly in view of the financial hardship it is imposing on electricians, sole traders and small businesses operating in the sector.

I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to rescind the decision whereby all heel prick results, otherwise known as Guthrie cards, taken between 1984 and 2002, are to be destroyed, as these records should be retained in order to assist in research in years to come.

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

Go ndéanfadh an t-Aire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta ráiteas maidir le pleananna Údarás na Gaeltachta maidir le forbairt an chomhlachta Arramara teo.

I have also received notice from Senator Averil Power of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to outline the current position on the resolution process for residents of the Priory Hall development in Donaghmede, Dublin 13.

I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:

To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to specify where responsibility lies and the action that will be taken regarding a dangerous site and large hole in Oranhill, Oranmore, County Galway, belonging to a non-co-operative owner and for which there is live planning permission; and if the Derelict Sites Act 1990 applies.

I have also received notice from Senator David Cullinane of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to discuss the cuts in the further education sector in budget 2013; and the effect this will have on Waterford College of Further Education and the teacher allocation at the college.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators John Whelan, Colm Burke, Trevor Ó Clochartaigh and Averil Power and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Fidelma Healy Eames and David Cullinane may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
