My Department has published 6 bills since March 2011. Of these, the three listed below included an RIA which was published on my Department's website:
Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Bill 2011
Education (Amendment) Bill 2012
Education and Training Boards Bill 2012
My Department currently has 6 Bills on the Legislation Programme for the Autumn 2013 Session, and these are at varying stages of the legislative process. The Education (Admissions to School) Bill 2013 is currently before an Oireachtas Committee; an RIA for this Bill was completed in February 2013 and was published on my Department's website. The Legislation Programme for Spring-Summer 2014 will be published early in 2014.
