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 Education and Skills to make a statement on the patron's proposed amalgamation of St. Peter's boys national school, St. Paul's junior girls national school and St. Paul's senior girls national school in Greenhills-Limekiln, Dublin 12, and to outline the timeframe and process for the commencement and completion of the proposed amalgamation.
I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the progress of the national physical activity plan and other measures to tackle obesity in society.
I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs to make a statement on the audit report undertaken by POBAL on behalf of her Department into Naíolann na nOileán-Muintearas; whether the recommendations in the report have been complied with and whether the matters outlined have been referred to the Garda and-or Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, and, if not, why not.
I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to review the current planning regulation whereby local authorities can grant planning permission in areas where there are no adequate communications services available to home owners.
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.
