I have also received notice from Senator Lynn Boylan of the following matter:

I have received notice from Senator Mary Fitzpatrick of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the timeline for the appointment of a design team for the west wing clinical care unit of the Rotunda Hospital, Parnell Square, Dublin.

Of the matters raised by Senators suitable for discussion, I have selected Senators Carrigy and Murphy, who will share time; Boylan; Byrne and Cummins, who will also share time; and Garvey. They will be taken now. I regret that I had to rule out of order the matter raised by Senator Fiona O’Loughlin on the grounds 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.
