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

The need for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to reverse the decision to exclude vintage veteran trucks from exemption from a roadworthiness test under the Commercial Vehicles Roadworthiness (Vehicles Testing) (No. 2) Regulations 2013 and to outline the reason these trucks cannot be treated equally to other pre-1980 vintage vehicles, such as cars, motor caravans, tractors, and motor cycles.

I have also received notice from Senator Martin Conway of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to outline, in light of the news that the UK has now approved the vaccine for meningitis B and that the NIAC met on 24 March,the reason the process for introducing this vaccine in Ireland is taking so long given that the NIAC has had all the relevant information for more than a year and to give a definitive timeframe for when a decision will be made.

I have also received notice from Senator Fidelma Healy Eames of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to outline the reason he must enter negotiations with GPs regarding the delivery of free GP care for those under six years of age if he wants universal and reliable delivery of care across the country.

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.
