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

The need for the Minister for Health to consider extending the time period for the issuance of emergency medial cards from six months to 12.

I have also received notice from Senator Catherine Noone of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to put a procedure in place for the cancellation of a medical card number when issuing a death certificate.

I have also received notice from Senator Marie Moloney:

The need for the Minister for Social Protection to issue a reminder that recipients of carer's benefit will be reviewed after 12 months to avoid total stoppage of payment.

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

The need for the Minister for Finance to confirm if senior management of all State-owned banks, including AIB, PTSB, Bank of Ireland, the EBS and the Irish Nationwide Building Society, converted any of their variable mortgages to a tracker mortgage in the six month period before the date of the Government-funded banking guarantee or immediately thereafter.

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

The need for the Minister for Social Protection to address the situation of a person (details supplied) who has been denied a back-to-education allowance with only three modules left to complete a course and who also suffers from a condition (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 Colm Burke, Catherine Noone, Marie Moloney and Lorraine Higgins and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Mary Moran may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
