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

Senator Nessa Cosgrove - the need for the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications to make a statement on Government policy on the importation of liquid natural gas into the State, and how this relates to our climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Senator Sharon Keogan - the need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to make a statement on extending the exemption from commercial rates to the constituency offices of county councillors.

Senator Mary Fitzpatrick - the need for the Taoiseach to make a statement on the proposed timeline for implementation of the recommendations of the Dublin city task force.

There was a mix-up with the Commencement matter tabled by Senator Comyn and I understand it might be submitted on another day. The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion and I have selected Senators Cosgrove, Keogan and O'Loughlin and they will be taken now. Senator Mary Fitzpatrick may give notice on another day of the matter she wishes to raise.
