Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

The Ceann Comhairle has not listened to my question. The Taoiseach has overall responsibility for legislation in his Cabinet. The Chief Whip is sitting behind the Taoiseach. The Secretary General in the Department has a responsibility for efficiency. We are now looking at a dysfunctional Department that cannot get its act together. It is a legitimate question on my part. There are two schools operating illegally in north Dublin. There are students who cannot get money and grants to which they are entitled because the system has not been changed and there are proposals to abolish the National University of Ireland. I am asking when can we see the legislation. I am not looking for the third secret of Fatima.
