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


To ask the Minister for Finance to review the imposition of a carbon tax on solid fuels.
I have also received notice from Senator John Kelly of the following matter:
To ask the Minister for Finance to review the imposition of a carbon tax on solid fuels.
I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to outline the plans his Department and the HSE have for the development of the site known as Our Lady and St. Kevin's Hospital, Shanakiel, Cork, in view of the fact that the site has now been vacant for 20 years and is in a dangerous and deteriorating condition.
I have also received notice from Senator Paschal Mooney of the following matter:
To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will outline his proposals for the deployment of staff at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine offices in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, and if he has had any discussions with the Minister for Social Protection with regard to relocation of staff from that Department to the Drumshanbo office.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Brennan, Kelly, Colm Burke and Mooney as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I suggest that Senators Brennan and Kelly share time as their Adjournment matters are on the same topic.
