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


The need for the Minister for Social Protection to make a statement on the recent decision of the European Court of Justice decision in the case concerning ten Waterford Crystal workers and the legislative steps the Government is now going to take to ensure that the insolvency directive will be implemented to the ECJ's satisfaction.
I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:
A fhiafraí den Aire Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara an bhfuil sé i gceist aige gníomhú chun an stádas saor ón ngalar Ostreid herpesvirus, i gCuan Baile na Cille i dtuaisceart Chonamara, a chaomhnú.
I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to outline the steps being taken by his Department and Local Authorities to ensure compliance by developers and liquidators of development companies to comply with Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 and whether planning contributions are being recovered from liquidators.
I have also received notice from Senator Lorraine Higgins of the following matter:
To ask the Minister for Education and Skills, in view of the over-capacity and ongoing demand for school places, if he will outline the current status of the application for new accommodation, including the timeframe for delivery of a new educational campus, by Presentation College, Athenry, County Galway.
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.
