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

Senator Lynn Boylan - The need for the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to make a statement on the possibility of mobile phone and broadband blackouts this winter in the event of power cuts.

Senator Róisín Garvey - The need for the Minister for Education to outline the steps being taken by the school transport section in her Department to address the shortage of qualified school bus drivers.

Senator Malcolm Byrne - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the €100 million emergency health fund.

Senator Tim Lombard - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the current level of podiatry care for older people in west Cork.

Senator Maria Byrne - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the provision of an elective hospital at St. John's Hospital, Limerick.

Senator Garret Ahearn - The need for the Minister for Rural and Community Development to make a statement on when funding will be allocated to Tipperary County Council in respect of its applications under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund for the towns of Cahir, Carrick and Roscrea.

Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on progress on the drafting of the proposed human tissue Bill.

Of the matters raised by the Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Lynn Boylan, Róisín Garvey, Malcolm Byrne and Tim Lombard and they will be taken now.

I regret I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile on the ground that it is a repeat of a Commencement matter raised on 11 October 2022. The other Senators may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.
