I have received notice from Senators Micheál Carrigy and Eugene Murphy that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, they propose to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to provide an update on the provision of funding for community projects in Lanesborough, County Longford, as recommended by Mr. Kieran Mulvey, Just Transition Commissioner.

I have also received notice from Senator Lynn Boylan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to make a statement on how the investor provision of the Energy Charter Treaty will impact on the recently announced new fossil fuel powered stations to address energy security.

I have also received notice from Senators Malcolm Byrne and John Cummins of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media to provide supports for the entertainment industry to compensate for the recently announced capacity limits at venues.

I have received notice from Senator Róisín Garvey of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to make a statement on the progress of integration of all national water services into Irish Water.

I have received notice from Senator Seán Kyne of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the provision of funding for the expansion of Westdoc services in Galway.

I have received notice from Senator Fiona O’Loughlin of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice to make a statement on the Garda resourcing in south Kildare.

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

The need for the Minister for Education to provide an update on the status of the school building project for Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire, 4 Cearnóg Pharnell, Baile Átha Cliath 1.

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

The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the timeline for the appointment of a design team for the west wing clinical care unit of the Rotunda Hospital, Parnell Square, Dublin.

Of the matters raised by Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Carrigy and Murphy, who will share time; Boylan; Byrne and Cummins, who will also share time; and Garvey. They will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Fiona O’Loughlin on the grounds that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters that they wish to raise.
