‹ Order of Business School admissions Bill
Summary
Peter Fitzpatrick highlights unfair and difficult school-enrolment processes and asks when the admissions Bill will appear; the Taoiseach says it passed pre-legislative scrutiny and is due this session.
With regard to the education (admission to school) Bill, parents are having problems facilitating the entry of children into local schools, even when a child's name is put on a list weeks after being born. The Bill would ensure the process for enrolling pupils in schools would be more open, equitable and consistent. When can we expect that Bill?
I thank the Taoiseach for his continuing support on the Narrow Water bridge project.
