George Mitchell Scholarship Fund (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm

I hope to be back. The Cathaoirleach will be familiar with a scheme operating among local authorities, namely, writers in residence whereby a noted writer would spend six months or so in a county town like Tralee. Having a Mitchell scholar in residence around rural counties might be a nice idea, as this would give them broader access away from university towns and cities. There might be a role for them.
