- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: Young people and students working within the healthcare system are going to watch very carefully to see what we have to say and whether we are prepared to put our money where our mouths are. On this side of the House we certainly are. I will send on details of the individual case to the Minister. I hope the Taoiseach takes the point, which is made in good faith, that it is in all of our...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: I would first like to address information which I placed on the Dáil record last week relating to an incident where a Sinn Féin representative sent inappropriate text messages to a young person. It was then my understanding that the young person was 17 years of age because of the information provided on his application form when he applied to join Ógra Shinn Féin. That...

Mary Lou McDonald: Our student nurses and midwives are incredible. They do invaluable nursing work while on placement on wards and, in fact, they keep our hospitals going. They do a minimum of 28 hours a week and they work far beyond their training duties. The McHugh review of 2022 addressed pay for intern nurses. However, the new subsistence allowance for first-to-third-year student nurses does not go...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Financial Supports for Tertiary Level Students: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
Sorca Clarke: I thank the witnesses for coming and apologise for the delay, which was entirely on the committee's side and not theirs. I want USI's opinion on the assessment of income of parents of a learner. There was a very unusual circumstance that first brought this to my attention a number of years ago and it involved twins who were learners heading off to college. They had not lived with their...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Financial Supports for Tertiary Level Students: Discussion (22 Oct 2024)
Sorca Clarke: I wish to ask a subsequent question. A considerable number of years ago, another circumstance presented to me, where the step-parent income was not taken into account. Is that still the case and how common is it? If that is the case, then it is not being assessed on household income. The income of the mother of the child was taken into the account but the mother’s husband’s...

Following approval by the Government, the Department is...
- Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary) (22 Oct 2024) Sorca Clarke: I thank the Minister and I welcome her and her officials. My questions cover a number of different areas, so I do not know if she wants to take them as a block or one by one. Will the Minister outline to the committee what impact, if any, the Supplementary Estimate will have on the pay and conditions of school secretaries and caretakers? Will she also outline what, if any, impact the...
