Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Ryanair (30 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It was mentioned that there were 150 technology jobs. I think it was called Ryanair Labs. I ask for a bit of detail on this aspect. It looks to be security research. Another point concerns the cadetships mentioned. It is necessary for people to have already been through flight school. I am looking at this in the context of a roadmap for a young person seeking to follow this path. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Ryan and Fiacre. I followed this committee before I landed in it. We have had a fair opportunity at these committee hearings to hear from outliers. I commend and congratulate it on that. I think the witnesses have sold the idea of RPM. We are not talking about a huge amount of money but rather a pittance in real terms. We are talking about a computer or device and a number...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It was actually brilliant to watch on a particular level. The notion I get is the fact of the frustration when kids have a difficulty in expressing themselves, but especially when a person is completely locked away and has no chance of expression. We can see how Ms Ryan has provided Fiacre with a roadmap to express himself and to be part of society. It has enabled him to get into third...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Assistive Technology: Ms Carmel Ryan and Mr. Fiacre Ryan (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It looks like we will not have the sort of numbers we need in that pipeline. We are looking at four or five years down the line, which is fine for then, but we need the baling-twine solution in the short term.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank all the witnesses for coming before the committee. This is a vital part of putting the jigsaw for autistic people together.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Employment: Discussion (13 Dec 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is seems to be low cost. I have probably been sold on that to a degree and have seen examples of assistive technologies that make complete sense here for those with autism or for those with disabilities and even in some cases for those who do not fall under those brackets but just to make life and work just far more effective for all involved. As Mr. Brabazon says, he will be dealing...
