Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It shows that Irish students are now the second worst in Europe at languages. There has already been a report which the Minister for Education and Science has been sitting on for the last three months, which showed a devastating decline in the quality and standard of spoken Irish in primary schools. Will the Taoiseach say when the House will see Bill No. 39, which for the interest of the Ceann Comhairle is the education Bill dealing with these matters. I am quite certain the Taoiseach knows that question is in order.
