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

Senator Joe O'Reilly - The need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to review the qualification requirements for grant-aided small rural sewerage schemes.

Senator Malcolm Byrne - The need for the Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works to provide an update on the proposed construction of Coast Guard stations in Arklow, County Wicklow and Courtown Harbour, County Wexford.

Senator Emer Currie - The need for the Minister for Education to provide an update on the emergency works required for roof repairs at Coolmine Community School, Dublin 15.

Senator Tim Lombard - The need for the Minister for Education to make a statement on the review of the reasonable accommodations at certificate examinations scheme and to ensure the review is prioritised and completed before the 2025 State examinations.

Senator Fiona O'Loughlin - The need for the Minister for Justice to make a statement on the sale proceeds from Ó Modhráin Hall, Newbridge, County Kildare, being transferred to Conradh na Gaelige.

The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion. I have selected those raised by Senators Joe O'Reilly, Malcolm Byrne, Emer Currie and Tim Lombard and 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 ground that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter.
