The higher education Bill proposes to modernise the legislative framework underpinning the governance and functioning of the Higher Education Authority and governance structures of the universities. When is it expected the Bill will come before the House? Have the heads of the Bill been cleared? Will it be in the current year? Has the petroleum, exploration and extraction and safety (amendment) Bill to transpose EU directives on safety of offshore oil and gas exploration been cleared?
