Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail)

The Minister referred in the jobs initiative to various measures to be taken to reform research institutions. When I asked the Taoiseach yesterday when that legislation would be introduced, he told me it would be introduced in the next few weeks. However, the legislative programme indicates that it will not be introduced until later in the year. I am wondering if, in view of the announcements made in the jobs initiative, the Government has decided to fast-track that legislation.
