Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Education and Supports Provision for Displaced Ukrainian Students: Discussion
Ms Clodagh Carroll:
I very much agree with that point. It is about the co-ordination of an action plan that contains clear pillars and outcomes. We must also look at the issue of resources, how they are used and where they are directed. I know, from working in the community and voluntary sector, that the organisation that I work for and all of our colleagues in the community have come together to see how we, as a community, can provide support for children in their education, environment, development and other areas. We are doing that on a shoestring and in the absence of additional resources to do the work. Consideration must be given to the overall action plan, its pillars and the outcomes that need to be achieved. We must look at how all the aspects come together, how they are communicated effectively and how they are resourced to enable us to provide additional support to that which is already being provided, and to do that well and effectively.
