The Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016 was published on 6th July 2016 and passed Committee Stage on 28th June 2017.

At Committee Stage I indicated that I intend to bring a number of important amendments to the Bill at Report Stage. My officials are continuing to engage with the Office of the Attorney General in relation to these amendments.  Once the amendments have been finalised the Bill will then progress to Report Stage.
