James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister's statement today that the Bill will be published in January. Could she make the heads of the Bill available to the Oireachtas Committee on Education and Science before then so it can discuss the Bill with the student unions? My second question follows the line of Deputy Morgan's question. Will the Minister guarantee to the House that the new scheme will be in place for people to avail of it during next summer for the following academic year?
