Special Education School Places: Motion [Private Members] (17 Sep 2025)

Rory Hearne: As we start a new term in the Dáil, it is utterly scandalous that there are children all over this country who do not have an appropriate school place. The Government says that it has offered places and, as my colleague said, that only a small number have not been offered places. However, the reality of the places that parents are being offered and that children are being sent to is...

Energy Costs: Motion [Private Members] (23 Sep 2025)

Rory Hearne: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing the motion forward. It is absolutely essential that we keep the focus on the cost-of-living crisis.

Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2025)

Homelessness has...
