‹ Order of Business Local government reform Bill
Summary
Brian Stanley asks whether the forthcoming local government reform Bill will protect students from councils withholding grants over household-charge issues; the Taoiseach cannot give a publication date.
On the pending local government reform Bill which is to be published this term, will the Taoiseach confirm the Bill will include protection for students applying for third level grants against the illegal action that has been taken by some county councils?
Comment on this
Does the Taoiseach agree the actions are illegal and is he aware that when it comes to tax compliance, only 52% of commercial rates are collected?
Comment on this
The Deputy's party leader spoke on the matter earlier so he can give the Deputy an update. When will this Bill be published?
