I have received notice from Senator Craughwell that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to make a statement on the regrading, pay and conditions of secretarial assistants employed by Senators.

I have also received notice from Senator Ollie Crowe of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Justice to outline when she expects to receive the report from the expert forum on antisocial behaviour in light of the increasing incidents of antisocial behaviour across the country, including in Eyre Square, Galway.

I have also received notice from Senator Garret Ahearn of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to make a statement on the straw incorporation measure.

I have also received notice from Senator Fiona O'Loughlin of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on plans for the development of a hospice in the midlands.

I have also received notice from Senator Victor Boyhan of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government to make a statement on the proposed legislation to streamline the judicial review process in regard to planning.

I have also received notice from Senator Malcolm Byrne of the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer of the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Barry Ward of the following matter:

I have also received notice from Senator Mary Seery Kearney of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the removal of direct connectivity between Chapelizod and Lucan, Celbridge, Leixlip and Maynooth and between Chapelizod and Ballyfermot.

Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected those raised by Senators Craughwell, Crowe, Ahearn and O'Loughlin and they will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Seery Kearney on the ground that the Minister has no official responsibility in the matter. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters that they wish to raise.
