Institutes of Technology Bill 2006: Second Stage.
4:00 pm
John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)
I welcome the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Mary Hanafin, and broadly welcome this Bill. I agree with much of what the previous speaker said. Most of the amendments suggested by my colleagues seem to centre on the timescale for the implementation of the Bill and I know they will be dealt with on the next Stage. I am glad that the issue of people with disabilities seems to have been addressed by the Minister for Education and Science before the Bill came to this House.
I am a graduate of the Waterford Institute of Technology, WIT, and I spent four of the best years of my life there.
