I have received notice from the following Senators that they propose to raise the following matters on the commencement of Seanad Éireann today:

Senator Seán Kyne - The need for the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality to make a statement on the provision of a family resource centre for the Clifden and the north Connemara area of Galway.

Senator Malcolm Noonan - The need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to make a statement on establishing a network of one-stop shops in every local authority to encourage development of vacant and derelict properties.

Senator Mike Kennelly - The need for the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment to make a statement on liquefied natural gas projects, in particular the Shannon Estuary project.

Senator Pauline Tully - The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the procedure for obtaining ankle-foot orthosis braces for children with cerebral palsy in County Cavan.

Senator Tom Clonan - The need for the Minister for Social Protection to make a statement on the impact on payment of disability allowance and invalidity pension to recipients who are availing of certain courses with the Tipperary Education and Training Board.

The matters raised by the Senators are suitable for discussion and I have selected Senators Kyne, Noonan, Kennelly and Tully and they will be taken now. Senator Tom Clonan may give notice on another day of the matter that he wishes to raise.
