Senator Martin Conway - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the establishment of a consultant-led air ambulance base to provide emergency cover for the west Clare area.

Senator Tom Clonan - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the mandatory reporting guidelines where healthcare professionals are obliged to immediately report child safety concerns and to outline any circumstances where these guidelines should not be followed.

Senator Nessa Cosgrove - The need for the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport to make a statement on the future expansion of the basic income for the arts scheme.

Senator Sharon Keogan - The need for the Minister for Social Protection to make a statement on the expansion of the free travel scheme to Northern Ireland.

The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion. I have selected Senators Costello, Martin Conway, Clonan and Cosgrove, so nearly all the C surnames today. Senator Keogan may give notice on another day of the matter that she wishes to raise.
