Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have decided on priorities for 41 pieces of legislation for this session.

I do not have dates for the Health Information Bill 2014 or the Patient Safety (Licensing) Bill 2015, but I will advise Deputy Micheál Martin on the progress made in developing the heads of these Bills.

The Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills, Deputy Damien English, is dealing with the apprenticeship Bill. He is waiting for proposals to be submitted by the end of March and will develop the Bill from there. A new apprenticeship council has been set up and Solas is in operation. The Minister of State is very engaged with a different form of flexibility for training modules for trainees and apprentices. I assume there will be a discussion on this issue in the House at an appropriate time.
