Universities Bill

Summary

Wilson asked when university legislation would be introduced and cited prepared Bill heads and a constitutional referendum; Hussey said consultation with interested parties was needed before proceeding.

When will the Universities Bill come before the House?

Comment on this

The Action Programme for Education indicated that new legislation would be considered. I am sure the Deputy is aware that before we proceed to such legislation we would need to have widespread discussions with the interests involved.

Comment on this

Is the Minister aware that a constitutional referendum was held to enable the passage of such a Bill through the House? Is she further aware that the heads of a Bill were prepared some time ago to enable the university legislation to get under way?

Comment on this

Is that not a separate question?
