I have received notice from Senator Martin Conway that, on the motion for the Adjournment today, he proposes to raise the following matter:


The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to intervene in a case (details supplied) regarding an exemption from motor tax for a refuse vehicle used in a private facility.
I have also received notice from Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill of the following matter:
Ag iarraidh ar an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta go n-iarrfadh sí gó hoifigiúil deireadh a chur leis an maolú ar stádas na Gaeilge mar theanga oifigiúil den Aontas Eorpach.
I have also received notice from Senator Jim D'Arcy of the following matter:
Ag iarraidh ar an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta an bhfuil aon plean le liúntas a thabhairt do na mná nó fir tithe maidir leis na coláistí samhraidh agus na coláistí oiliúna mar gheall ar na táillí uisce agus má tá, an méid atá i gceist mar liúntas.
I have also received notice from Senator Terry Brennan of the following matter:
The need for the Minister of State at the Department of Finance with responsibility for the Office of Public Works to confirm when restoration works at King John’s Castle, Carlingford, County Louth will recommence in view of the long delay in completing this very important tourism project.
I regard the matters raised by Senators Conway, D'Arcy and Brennan as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret I have had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Ó Domhnaill as it involves a repeat of the reply to a similar matter on the Adjournment on 12 June 2014.
