I have received notice from Senator Kathryn Reilly that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to discuss the alignment of local authorities; the timeframe for the proposals; the work of the working group he has set up; and the proposed pilot schemes.

I have also received notice from Senator Thomas Byrne of the following matter:

The need to ask the Minister for Health the up to date position regarding the provision of services to Ashbourne Primary Health Care Centre.

I have also received notice from Senator Mary Moran of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to intervene on behalf of a person (details supplied) in acquiring a home orthopaedic bed which is urgently required.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to discuss the Higgins report, and the ramifications it will have for hospitals in the south-east region and for patient care across the south east.

I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to establish as a matter of urgency a panel of equality experts for equality mainstreaming supports to the SME sector, given that the EU funding for this programme runs out at the end of 2013.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Reilly, Byrne, Moran and Cullinane as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Conway may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
