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

The need for the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide an update on the implementation of the Irish Sign Language Act 2017.

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

The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for business, employment and retail to make a statement on supports for business start-ups, particularly in the Limerick area.

I have also received notice from Senator Gerard Craughwell on the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to make a statement on the re-grading, pay and conditions of secretarial assistants employed by Senators.

I have also received notice from Senator Mary Fitzpatrick on the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide an update on a commencement date for the restoration of the National Monument Museum on Moore Street, Dublin 1, and the creation of State-run 1916 commemorative centre.

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

The need for the Minister for Education to provide an update on the timelines associated with the design and planning for the proposed new build for Summercove National School, Kinsale, County Cork.

Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Malcolm Byrne and Maria Byrne and they will be taken now. Senator Craughwell has withdrawn his Commencement matter, which I had originally selected. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Fitzpatrick on the ground that it is a repeat of a Commencement matter raised on 20 October 2021.
