Technological universities and gambling Bills
Bernard Durkan asks about progress on the technological universities and gambling-control Bills; the Taoiseach says the former has Cabinet clearance and the latter is expected early next year.
What is the position of the technological universities Bill 2014 which proposes to amend previous legislation in respect of Dublin Institute of Technology, DIT, and the Higher Education Authority, HEA?
What progress has there been on the gambling control Bill 2013? Have the heads of the Bill been discussed or approved? When will those Bills come before the House?
Comment on this
We gave authorisation to the Minister for Education and Science in the past couple of weeks on elements of the technological universities Bill 2014. I will supply the Deputy with up to date information on that. It was cleared by Cabinet.
The gambling control Bill 2013 will come before the House early next year.
