Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

I will discuss the position regarding the Student Support Bill with the Minister for Education and Science and revert to the Deputy on the availability of Government amendments. On the education (patronage) Bill, which the Deputy is anxious to have before the House, it is anticipated that heads of the Bill, which are at an advanced stage, will be available this month, with publication expected in early spring.
