- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)

- 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...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I understand my time is up, but to me that does not equate when there is a situation where this has been talked about for 20 years and there has been a pilot programme.

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

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Minister of State and I thank all three Deputies for contributing. As someone who, at the Business Committee, has to manage competing demands for additional time to talk on important matters, I have to say it is profoundly disappointing to come in here tonight to have a topic of enormous importance before us and, apart from Deputy Ó Cathasaigh as Leas-Chathaoirleach and the...
