Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Technological Universities Bill will be restored to Committee Stage. Obviously, issues were raised in the course of Committee Stage that was debated in the last Dáil. We are seeking to work out some of those issues relating to industrial relations and partnerships of colleges so that when we come to Committee Stage it will be easier to progress the Bill.

Work is being done to make sure we can progress that Bill. It is very much our intention to proceed with it. We hope it will be ready towards the end of this session.
