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

Senators Patricia Stephenson and Malcolm Noonan - the need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on staffing, bed capacity and medical equipment at St. Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny, in light of an increase in demand.

Senator Sarah O'Reilly - the need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on conducting an independent review into the provision of telemedicine abortion.

Senator Eileen Lynch - the need for the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment to provide an update on tourism plans for the Gearagh, Macroom, County Cork.

Senator Mike Kennelly - the need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to make a statement on the introduction of a DNA database for dogs to counteract attacks on sheep farming communities.

Senator Mary Fitzpatrick - the need for the Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works to provide an update on the redevelopment of the GPO.

The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion. I have selected Senators Patricia Stephenson and Malcolm Noonan, who will be sharing time, and Senators Sarah O'Reilly, Eileen Lynch and Mike Kennelly and they will be taken now.

Senator Mary Fitzpatrick may give notice on another day of the matter that she wishes to raise.
