I will try to be brief. I hope the landlord and tenant Bill, along with the national paediatric hospital development board (amendment) Bill can be prioritised and fast-tracked.

These Bills are on the legislative programme. The landlord and tenant Bill is not scheduled until next year. No timeframe has been announced for the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (amendment) Bill. What is the position on the technological universities Bill, given that Waterford Institute of Technology has pulled out of talks on amalgamation with Carlow Institute of Technology? Should this Bill also be fast-tracked to ensure the amalgamation process can be put back on stream so as to have a university in the south west?
