Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

Word has it that on Tuesday night the Minister got a serious dressing down from the Minister for Education and Science at a meeting of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party. We feel his pain on this side of the House so is there anything we can do to help him? Given the Minister's own position concerning a university for the south east, which would require new legislation, can the Minister inform the House when it is proposed to introduce such legislation? When will the Government publish the Port report that has been in the Department of Education and Science for the past 12 months?
