- 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. It clearly seems to be working from what the stakeholders have told us and it is a really important aspect of these students' experience. I suggest if the Department of Education is funding it through that particular grant,...
- 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. We have a serious ambition here. It is also realistic. I absolutely agree with Deputy Ó Cathasaigh. We are not signing up to 220 years but we have been building capacity. In my opening remarks, I referred to the extra...

- Report on Energy Poverty 2024: Motion (10 Oct 2024)
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...

- Report on Energy Poverty 2024: Motion (10 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister of State and Deputy O'Rourke for their contributions on the report. I will not go back into the detail but I will attempt to address some of the comments that were made. We have to distinguish between what we are trying to do in the short term, the medium term and the long term. In the long term, the goal is to retrofit all of our housing stock so that people will...
