In welcoming the introduction of this Private Bill, I believe it will find general approval, although questions have been raised on some aspects. An aspect which may not be always understood is the distinction between enabling legislation and enforcement legislation. The fact that this Bill will enable the college to award degrees at some future time does not give it the authority to do so. I hope that may put minds at rest; we will have an opportunity to discuss that aspect more fully on Committee Stage. It means they will not have to revise the charter if, at some future time, it is decided that the college should award degrees. In that event, the matter would be in the hands of the Oireachtas.
