Higher education and redress legislation
Bernard Durkan asks about the timing of the Higher Education Authority Bill and legislation providing redress for women in certain institutions. The Taoiseach says the higher education Bill will appear next year, while the redress Bill is due this session.
The Higher Education Authority Bill is promised legislation. What is the timescale for its introduction in the House and its current status? Is it cleared and ready for introduction?
Similarly, what is the current status of the Bill to provide for redress for women in certain institutions? What is its schedule in the Houses and when will it be passed?
