- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: It depends on whether we consider autumn to end this month or next month, I suppose. We might get a written review on that. On whether orientation, mobility and life skills should be part of the school curriculum, we heard about how well this works in three counties in Munster, where it is put through the education system, and about the benefit of it. That pilot project started 20 years...

- Report on Energy Poverty 2024: Motion (10 Oct 2024)
Dara Calleary: I thank Deputies Ó Cathasaigh and O'Rourke for their contributions. It is important to reflect on Deputy O'Rourke's comments. The retrofit plan is ambitious.

In my opening remarks, I referred to the extra...
