Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Representatives from the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation (17 Feb 2022)

Pauline Tully: I think it was inappropriate of Senator McGahon to suggest that only one party or one section of the community posts inappropriate comments on social media. Unfortunately, members and supporters of all political parties do it, including his own. It should not happen and I do not condone it in any form, but he should not have mentioned just one party.

Mobility and Transport Supports for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (16 Feb 2022)

Pauline Tully: I commend the Regional Group on raising this important matter, taking in the primary medical certificates and the lack of personalised transport supports for people with disabilities.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme: Discussion (16 Feb 2022)

Pauline Tully: The representatives talked about people not being knowledgeable about their rights. That is a major problem right across society but especially for parents when they realise their child has an additional need - where do they go for help and how do they get it? It goes right on through. People are not told of their rights. Citizens Information does wonderful work in informing people, but...

Pauline Tully: I know of that because of the number of disability allowance and carer's allowance applications refused first time that come through my constituency office. Generally, when we assist a person to appeal, that individual wins the appeal. It is unfortunate people are not just granted what they deserve at the outset.
