Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I am glad the Tánaiste is present in the House. The Student Support Bill first saw the light of day approximately two and half years ago and completed Second Stage. Amendments have been brought forward for the Bill and were supposed to be with the Deputies in question on Monday this week. Responses to the amendments are to be received by 19 November. Will the Tánaiste and the Minister for Education and Skills extend that closing date as the amendments are already three days late?
