Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Education Needs of Visually Impaired Students: Discussion
11:00 am
Ms Eithne Walsh:
From Féach's point of view and that of all the parents I represent, we need to see change. We have kept this so narrow because at this point we need to see something happen. We brought the committee a very narrow remit so members can go to the Department of Education and really fight for our children. We are all echoing the same thing. We did meet but we all said the exact same thing. It is within the committee's power and remit because so much is just down to the dots not being connected. I hope members have got that from today and that they will continue to communicate with us because from our point of view, this has been very useful.
