As the Minister well knows, the south east of the country faces a difficulty from an unemployment point of view. One of the best ways to try to sort out that issue is through education. As the Minister is probably aware, Carlow IT and Waterford IT have done much work in proposing the formation of a technological university. Will the Minister give me a timescale on when the technological universities Bill will be introduced? In regard to planning legislation, when will legislation be introduced to underpin the Construction 2020 strategy?
