Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I have received notice from the following Senators that they propose to raise the following matters:Senator Erin McGreehan - The need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to engage with local authorities on the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.Senator Emer Currie - The need for the Minister for Foreign Affairs to make a statement on the UK Government's Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill.Senator Lynn Boylan - The need for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to make a statement on current capacity issues at animal shelters.Senator Maria Byrne - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the measures being taken to alleviate pressures on GPs.Senator Fintan Warfield - The need for the Minster for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to ensure the preservation and future use of the Iveagh Markets, Dublin 8.Senator Tim Lombard - The need for the Minister for Education to make a statement on capacity issues in secondary school places in Clonakilty, County Cork.Senator Seán Kyne - The need for the Minister for Health to provide an update on Saolta plans to redevelop facilities at University Hospital Galway and Merlin Park Hospital.Senator Aisling Dolan - The need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the closure of waiting rooms at train stations, including Ballinasloe, and train time punctuality on the Galway-Dublin line.Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Erin McGreehan, Emer Currie, Lynn Boylan and Maria Byrne and they will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matters raised by Senators Warfield and Dolan on the ground that the relevant Ministers have no official responsibility in the matters. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
