School admissions legislation

Summary

Mattie McGrath criticises alleged pressure on national schools and asks when the education admissions Bill will be implemented; the Taoiseach says during the current session.

The Taoiseach is a múinteoir scoile himself, and throughout the country national schools are being persecuted and frightened out of existence.

I am asking about two points. One is the EirGrid Bill and the other is about the education (admission to school) Bill. It is promised legislation. The Ceann Comhairle has given me a Topical Issues matter to raise and I am very thankful for it so I will mind myself today. When will the education (admission to school) Bill be implemented?

It is all a big session as far as the Taoiseach is concerned but nothing is happening.

That is what the Taoiseach thinks.
