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

Senator Nessa Cosgrove - the need for the Minister of Health to make a statement on the introduction of a mandatory, nationwide and standardised breast density reporting to all women with mammogram results until the HIQA health technology assessment process has concluded.

Senator Eileen Lynch - the need for the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality to make a statement on amending the early childhood care and education scheme eligibility requirements so that children can commence once eligible at age two years and eight months.

Senator Mike Kennelly - the need for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide a national planning statement on solar energy development.
