Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The education Ireland Bill is due in 2007. As we have not seen the heads of the Bill yet, I cannot give Deputy Kenny a date in this regard. As there is a commitment to debate the Harris report, I will ask the Government Whip to arrange it. As for the sitting during the week in which the House will return, its purpose will be to discuss legislation and to deal with the legislation only.
