Education admissions legislation

Summary

Deputy Donnelly asked when the education admissions Bill would be published; the Taoiseach said it was expected during the session.

Stephen Donnelly Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly Independent

Work on many new school buildings is ongoing and there is promised legislation. I believe the heads of the education (admission to schools) Bill have already been placed before the Cabinet. Many schools, particularly in north Wicklow, for example, where there is an Educate Together school, are waiting to form boards and to get on with their formation following the changes to admissions policy. Does the Taoiseach know when we will see the Bill before the Dáil?

It is expected this session, but I will advise the Deputy more accurately. I understand the Minister is practically ready with it, but I will let the Deputy know.
