Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Kehoe: I agree 100%. It is an issue this committee has discussed over a long time and it keeps coming back to the social media platforms and the bullying that can happen on them. It amazes me that schools do not have a strict policy on the use of mobile phones in their own premises. If I had my way, no student would have a phone in school. Every school principal talks about the great policy they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Post-Primary Education: Discussion (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Kehoe: On behalf of all the committee members, I want to say to our witnesses that they are impressive young people. They are a credit to their parents, teachers and schools. They should all be very proud. Primary school teaching is a great career to go into. My daughters want to do the same. Whether that is because of the holidays or not, I do not know. I hope none of the witnesses were on...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (9 Jul 2024)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate her response, but it seems that we do not have a cast-iron guarantee about when the unit will launch. She will excuse me for having concerns about the date of quarter 4 of 2024, because we have been told different dates on numerous occasions, but we will wait. I do understand that progress has been made. For the first time, there are definite...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (9 Jul 2024)

Emer Higgins: The Deputy referenced 2022 in his opening contribution and the report of the high-level task force was published in 2022. Progress is happening. Posts have been approved. Additional progress happened just yesterday. That underscores this Government's commitment to make this pilot happen. I have given him the target date of the fourth quarter of 2024. From a HSE mid-west perspective,...

Malcolm Noonan: I welcome Dan Brennan, Francie Gorman, Denis Drennan and representatives of the farm organisations to the House. I am sure Dan's family are watching at home as well.

Matt Carthy: I thank the Minister for being here and warmly welcome Dan Brennan, his family and friends and representatives of the farm organisations.

Then problems began to emerge at the same time as activities taking place in a nearby factory....
