School admissions legislation
Jerry Buttimer raises parental concerns about school admissions and asks about the relevant Bill; the Taoiseach says its heads have been cleared and publication is due later in the year.
I dtús báire, I would like to pay tribute to a follow Corkman, Kieran Coughlan. I wish him well in his retirement and thank him for his courtesy. I wish his influence on the last commission would have led to Bishopstown being divided in a more equitable manner, but we will leave that aside. I wish him well in his retirement. I would like to ask the Taoiseach about the education (admission to school) Bill. As the Taoiseach knows, school enrolments and admissions are causing huge discomfort to parents and pupils in some parts of the country. I welcome the Minister's initiative which is aimed at making the system more equitable. Can I ask when the Bill will be published?
