The information on the number of days between the publication of a Bill and its introduction or presentation to either Seanad or Dáil Éireann is not immediately available, however it is generally only a number of days between the publication of a Bill and its presentation to either House. I refer the Deputy to the attached table which lists the Bills sponsored by the Minister for Education and Science in the years 1997 to 2008 and details of the time between presentation and the taking of the order for the Second Stage reading of the Bill.
