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

Senator Imelda Goldsboro - The need for the Minister of State with special responsibility for mental health to ensure the future sustainability of the Cluain Training and Enterprise Centre in Clonmel, County Tipperary.

Senator Fiona O'Loughlin - The need for the Minister for Health to provide an update on Teach na nDaoine centre in Kilcullen, County Kildare.

Senator Nessa Cosgrove - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the standardisation of signage available to local authorities relating to the presence of ticks and the risk of contracting Lyme disease.

Senator Teresa Costello - The need for the Minister for Social Protection to review the timeframe for applications for partial capacity benefit to include people who find themselves unable to work to their full capacity after they return to work.

Senator Margaret Murphy O'Mahony - The need for the Minister for Social Protection to review the prolonged delays in the domiciliary care allowance appeals process.

Senator Robbie Gallagher - The need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the delays for driving tests in counties Monaghan and Cavan.

The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion and I have selected Senators Conway, Goldsboro, O'Loughlin and Cosgrove and they will be taken now. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters that they wish to raise.

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, to the House. He is most welcome. The first Commencement matter is from Senator Conway.
