I have received notice from Senator Kathryn Reilly that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to discuss the inclusion of the North-South interconnector in the Government’s capital plan.

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

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to update the House on requirements in the 1888 and 1929 Burial Ground Regulations for a minimum depth of eight feet for a first interment in a burial ground unless a lesser depth is certified by the HSE.

I have also received notice from Senator Marie Moloney of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to examine the possibility of providing grant aid for the installation of security alarms in private homes.

I have also received notice from Senator Paschal Mooney of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to state if it is her intention to reintroduce funding for the community-based CCTV scheme which commenced in 2005 and which supported local communities with the goal of increasing public safety and reducing the risk of anti-social and criminal activity.

I have also received notice from Senator Catherine Noone of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to outline the position regarding the provision of a purpose-built forensic science laboratory on the previously identified site in Kildare following her correspondence to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality in this respect.

I have also received notice from Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh of the following matter:

An gá atá ann go ndaingneoidh an tAire Sláinte, i bhfianaise fhíorasc an chróinéara i gcás an tseachtain seo caite (sonraí tugtha), cé na bearta a rinne, nó a dhéanfaidh, an Roinn, FSS agus Grúpa Ospidéal Saolta chun a chinntiú nach dtarlóidh a leithéid de chás arís.

I regard the matters raised by Senators Reilly, Conway, Moloney, Mooney, Noone and Ó Clochartaigh as suitable for discussions on the Commencement of the House. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Reilly, Conway, Moloney and Mooney, and they will be taken now. Senators Noone and Ó Clochartaigh may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
