Before asking the Taoiseach about the universities (amendment) Bill, I take this opportunity formally to congratulate him, on behalf of the people of Kerry, on the work he did for our country in Europe last week. What he did last week represents a fantastic achievement. I would like that fact to be recorded.

It will not be recorded because it is not relevant to the Order of Business. Will the Deputy indicate to which legislation he wishes to refer?

In the context of the universities (amendment) Bill, there is a great deal of concern regarding the level of remuneration in the universities sector. When will the legislation be brought before the House?

The heads of the universities (amendment) Bill were cleared last October. It will be mid-year before the legislation is published.
