I have received notice from the following Senators that they propose to raise the following matters:

Senator Lynn Boylan - The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to amend the Animal Health and Welfare Act to provide that horses seized on welfare grounds can be rehomed.

Senator Sharon Keogan - The need for the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to make a statement on the process of selection of recipients of funding for projects from unspent moneys from schemes for the Traveller and Roma communities, migrant integration and Magdalen laundry redress fund.

Senators Boylan and Keogan have withdrawn their Commencement matters, which I had originally selected.

I regret that I had to rule out of order the matters raised by Senators Ahearn and Conway on the ground that the relevant Ministers have no official responsibility in the matters raised.
