James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

It is reported in today's newspapers that an Irish student is taking a High Court challenge to the quota on the number of undergraduate places in medicine allocated to EU students. His legal team includes the former Tánaiste, Mr. Michael McDowell. If the case is successful, will the Education Ireland Bill be brought forward to remove discrimination against Irish and EU students? I understand the Bill is due to come before the Dáil next year, but will the date be brought forward in the event of a successful case being taken?
