Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It is my hope that the election process in Northern Ireland today will result in a situation where the Assembly can be restored and where all politicians can work towards that restoration and the implementation of the St. Andrew's Agreement and the Good Friday Agreement. I am sure I share the hopes and express the wishes of everybody in that regard.

When will No. 38, the education Ireland Bill be published? It deals with the teaching of English as a foreign language. It is expected some time in 2007 but the Taoiseach may have a date.
