Paudie Coffey (Waterford, Fine Gael)

With regard to the criteria for the establishment of technological universities, which were recently announced by the Higher Education Authority, when can we expect to see the heads of the Bill that will be required to give these criteria legal effect? I am aware that this is a priority according to the programme for Government. This is an important issue for the south east, which is the only region in the State that does not have a university. It must be given priority by the Government.
