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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to outline the full details of the three regional contractors appointed by Irish Water and provide an update on the roll-out of the project, including the measures being put in place to ensure local subcontractors will be used to carry out metering works.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, due to the precarious water supply prevailing throughout the country, in particular in the greater Leinster region, to indicate whether urgent priority is being given by Irish Water to the construction of a new water reservoir at Garryhinch, Portarlington, County Laois, to ensure a safe, secure and sustainable water supply for householders, industry and commerce and the agri-sector.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to address the cut in funding to Women's Aid, Dundalk, County Louth.

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.
