Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I think I am in order because the Bill I wish to raise, the third level students support Bill, has been on the Government's legislative programme for a number of years, is very urgent and could have filled in time yesterday and today. Parents who obeyed the Government and opened special savings incentive accounts, SSIAs, are now being punished in terms of their children's eligibility for third level grants. The legislation has been lingering for years. Has it been agreed by Cabinet and when will it be debated in this House? Will it address the problem of parents being punished for opening SSIAs?
