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


The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to set out the procedures in place to prevent the fraudulent probating of wills and the probating of fraudulent wills.
I have also received notice from Senator Michael D'Arcy of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to outline how the notional interest rate is calculated by the HSE on savings as part of the means test for medical card applicants.
I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Agriculture, Food and the Marine to outline his Department's plans for the development of Rossaveal as a deep water harbour.
I have also received notice from Senator Mary Moran of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to address the situation of a person (details supplied) who has been made homeless due to a lack of social housing provision and available accommodation for those in receipt of rent allowance in Dundalk, County Louth.
I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Social Protection to review the current procedure which applies in the payment of maternity benefit for those who are self-employed and in particular the current practice where benefit is not paid when the child is born in the first six months of the year.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Byrne, D’Arcy, Ó Clochartaigh and Moran as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senator Burke may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
