Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

The Minister for Education and Science stated that she intends to implement the student support Bill to transfer the administration of student grants to vocational education committees by the next academic year commencing in September. However, the Bill has not been published. What is the delay in the Bill? On a related matter, the Taoiseach has indicated he wants to hold the general election on a Thursday, which would not facilitate students.
