Paul Donnelly: I move amendment No. 7: In page 4, between lines 16 and 17, to insert the following: “Report on extending parent’s leave and benefit 8. The Minister shall prepare and lay a report before the Houses of the Oireachtas on extending the full duration of parent’s leave and benefit by 4 weeks and that the report shall be presented to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on...

Heather Humphreys: I thank the Deputy for tabling this amendment. Regarding extending parent’s leave and benefit, the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has responsibility for parent’s leave policy and I have responsibility for the associated benefit payment. Parent’s leave and benefit are available to eligible parents within the first two years following...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Children with Disabilities - UNCRPD Article 7: Discussion (16 Oct 2024)
Pauline Tully: I welcome all our witnesses and thank them for their contributions. As is natural with young people, much of the focus is on education, where we all spend most of our youth. For some of us that was a long time ago. Are we a long way from a truly inclusive education system? I have come from a presentation in the audiovisual room where representatives, both parents and staff members, from...

Seán Canney: The witnesses are all very welcome. I will start with what is happening in education. In Ms Soraghan's opening statement, she talked about person-centred personalised supports. Is it a very important aspect of education and work life that individuals have personal assistance that suits them and the challenges they face in life? She also said that disabled persons organisations are...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank the witnesses. A lot of my questions have been asked, but one of would be about how there is no stand-alone DPO for children. The Government's Participation of Children and Young People in Decision-making Action Plan 2024-2028 was published earlier this year. Can the witnesses discuss how this action plan might support the creation of stand-alone children's DPOs? I know about...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: Carlow first. I want to compliment the witnesses. To me, lack of services is the biggest issue. We might look at the children's disability network teams, CDNTs, and trying to get services for younger children in particular, but even in general, we need to provide more funding. We need to look at the bigger picture. I want to compliment everyone here. Today has been great, and their...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Francis Noel Duffy: I thank the Minister for his briefing. I have short questions relative to the LDA and cost rental. Representatives of the LDA spoke to us, I think, this year, with regard to the agency's targets being expanded for various reasons, and good reasons. Will the Minister expand on those targets and where the targets are now from where they were? The talk in the programme for Government was...
