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

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to discuss the fact that there is no legislation or regulations in place to facilitate the orderly transfer of personnel bilaterally between the Garda Síochána and the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the absence of any guarantee or written provision that the personnel who opt to transfer can be assured that they may resume their positions and employment with An Garda Síochána having completed their service.

I have also received notice from Senator John Whelan of the following matter:

To ask the Minister for Health to instruct the HSE to facilitate the immediate transfer of a person (details supplied) from Abbeyleix Community Nursing Home which is wholly inappropriate to their rare condition, Kjellin's syndrome, to the more suitable and available space in St. Joseph's Home, Stillorgan, in the interest of their health and well-being and in keeping with the State's duty of care.

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

The need for the Minister for Social Protection to discuss the withdrawal of the community welfare office from Tramore, County Waterford; the impact it will have on the local community; and how community welfare services will now be provided.

I have also received notice from Senator Lorraine Higgins of the following matter:

To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will facilitate the opening of Athenry Castle on 15 August for a social evening with food, which will be prepared externally, and beverages to mark Athenry twinning with Renews, Canada.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to address the lack of residential services for people with a disability in urgent need of residential care (details supplied).

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Keane, Whelan, Cullinane and Higgins and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Moran may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
