Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

In January of this year the Government approved the formal drafting of an Education (Parent and Student Charter) Bill. Since then, my Department has been working on the formal drafting of the Bill in conjunction with Office of the Parliamentary Counsel and it is expected that this process will be completed shortly.

As soon as the drafting process is complete, it is my intention to seek Government approval for the publication of the Bill and the presentation of the Bill to the Dáil.
