James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

The education patronage Bill still refers to the provision of primary education by vocational education committees and to empower them to act as patron of a primary school. Educate Together is not mentioned. We have brought this up time and again. When will the legislation come before the House and will it include provision for Educate Together, which has been educating children for the past 30 years and which President McAleese has praised highly?
