Is it the intention of the Government to reinstate the Technological Universities Bill 2015 at the Stage that it was before the election took place because it is a hugely important issue for many institutes of technology, which need certainty and clarity to proceed with the mergers or processes in which some of them are involved? I met the president of Waterford IT last week and he was adamant the institute needs certainty and clarity. There is confusion as to what is contained in the programme for Government in regard to these processes. Will the Bill be reinstated at the Stage it was at before the election.
