Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Habilitation and Rehabilitation – UNCRPD Article 26: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I missed a lot of the contributions but I came in while Mr. Grogan was talking about his son Shane. I thank him for what I heard. It was quite shocking to hear about the experience he outlined and how much it has impacted him and, in particular, his wife. Another measure we do not have is the personal cost to the families when the services are not there, and they are very much not there....

Hildegarde Naughton: I am pleased to share details of my Department’s budget for 2025 as Minister of State with responsibility for special education and inclusion. As Deputies are aware, ensuring that children with additional needs receive an appropriate education with the supports they require is a priority for this Government. Since being appointed to this role last April, I have visited almost 30...

Sorca Clarke: From speaking with principals and school leaders, to say they are disappointed would be one of the greatest understatements. It is a sentiment also expressed by representative groups and parents. I note that the Minister, Deputy Foley, has left the Chamber. That Minister was told, heard and ignored what was being outlined in detail by school leaders. A few months ago, principals from...

Mark Ward: In 2020 we had a scandalous 9,689 children on waiting lists for primary care psychology. Fast forward to 2024 and we now have whopping 18,368 children waiting. This is the Minister's legacy. It is a legacy of heartbreak and children being denied every opportunity to reach their full potential. Sinn Féin has a plan to resolve this. We have an action plan for mental health. We have...

Gino Kenny: This budget is certainly not about the lack of money. There is a lot of money washing around at present. The level of surplus in the financial coffers of the State is probably unprecedented. It probably even got better for the Government when €13.8 billion landed on its table, even though the Government spent €10 million trying not to get it. It is a very good day for the...
