I have received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

An gá atá ann go ndearbhóidh an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta go leanfar le maoiniú a sholáthar do Phléaráca Teoranta chun go mbeidh siad in ann leanúint den obair atá déanta ag an eagraíocht i gConamara le fiche bliain anuas.

I have also received notice from Senator Colm Burke of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to clarify the current position in respect of including the drug, Fampyra, as part of the drug payment scheme in view of the fact that it has proved successful for some MS patients but is currently costing in excess of €300 per month.

I have also received notice from Senator Katherine Zappone of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to outline his Department’s strategy to mobilise those not currently on the register of electors to be included on the supplement to the register of electors in order to be able to vote in the forthcoming referenda.

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

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to outline why speed vans are not located in dangerous driving black spots but appear to be placed instead in areas where speed limits increase, thus prioritising revenue collection over enabling positive driving behaviour.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion and they will be taken now.
