- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (Resumed) (22 May 2024)
Tom Clonan: I thank Professor Moran and Dr. O'Leary for carrying out this research, which is very much appreciated. Even though their research is a preliminary investigation, it confirms what we know subjectively. On the research design, from my understanding of the summary, they have carried out an audit of documents that they consulted and from those conclusions have been reached. I can only imagine...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 May 2024)
Tom Clonan: I also welcome our guests from Western Australia. They must be surprised that we enter the water with the temperatures we have here, but we do in great numbers.

It should not state "between disciples"; rather it should state "between disciplines". Having been an academic for 22 years and a researcher...
