Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Yesterday, the Taoiseach indicated to me that the legislation to put on a statutory basis the role as patron of VEC schools at primary level would be published in this session. Will the Taoiseach clarify whether "this session" means prior to the House rising on 8 July? Otherwise we will enter a fourth year in which these schools will be acting illegally and three new schools will open under the same patronage format.
