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


The strategy, if any, the Government has to prevent the spread of Japanese knot weed along Irish roadways and if he will provide a policy which will oblige local authorities to address this matter.
I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to put in place legislation in accordance with the proposals published in the Law Reform Commission's Report on Civil Law Aspects of Missing Persons.
I have also received notice from Senator Lorraine Higgins of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to set up a taskforce to enlist the support of all enterprise agencies to provide an employment focus in Portumna in view of the loss of many jobs and many small businesses in recent times.
I have also received notice from Senator Marie Moloney of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to clarify why a medical card has been withdrawn from a terminally-ill cancer patient (details supplied) in County Kerry.
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.
