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

The need for the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government to explain the reasons for the delays in the Drogheda boundary review process.

I have also received notice from Senator Neale Richmond of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice and Equality to amend the vetting system in order that those individuals who are Garda-vetted for one activity can be deemed to have been automatically vetted, or fast-tracked, for another.

I have also received notice from Senator Robbie Gallagher of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment to recognise the value of angling in Ireland and make the relevant funding available to the hatcheries at Mullingar and Roscrea.

I have also received notice from Senator Jennifer Murnane O’Connor of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to advise on the current status of the building in Carlow in which paramedics and ambulance services are located in view of the fact that it was condemned as not being fit for purpose and to state if a suitable alternative location will be provided as a matter of urgency.

I have also received notice from Senator Kieran O’Donnell of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to indicate the current position on the appointment of patrons for the two new secondary schools in Mungret and Castletroy, County Limerick.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion. I have selected the matters raised by Senators Gerald Nash, Neale Richmond, Robbie Gallagher and Jennifer Murnane O’Connor and they will be taken now. Senator Kieran O’Donnell may give notice on another day of the matter he wishes to raise.
