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

The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation to consider placing chefs on the critical skills employment permit list.

I have also received notice from Senator Maria Byrne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Skills to provide an update on the proposed inclusion of the library and learning resource centre for Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, in the capital budget for higher education.

I have also received notice from Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to ensure that the additional €25 million agreed in the programme for Government for the areas of natural constraints, ANC, scheme is honoured and that the funding is targeted at mountain sheep grazing.

I have also received notice from Senator Tim Lombard of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to initiate a campaign outlining the safety of the HPV vaccinations in light of the negative publicity regarding this vaccine.

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