Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

On a point of information, my understanding is that the Minister for Education and Science has informed numerous players in the education sector that he has presented five options to the Cabinet, and that he was going to give a deadline of 15 September. The Minister's press officer, Mr. Mallee, carefully arranged for the details to be leaked to the public so that the rest of us could share the documents the Taoiseach received confidentially. Has the Taoiseach had an opportunity to choose his preferred option? When will the damage and punishment be inflicted on third level students?
