Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (6 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I recently attended a protest by some of the families who have been affected by the fact their babies' remains were incinerated without their consent. It was held outside the gates of the Cork University Maternity Hospital, CUMH. I spoke to several of the fathers and mothers, and they are absolutely at a loss. It is worth stating, and I am sure the Minister of State will understand, that...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (6 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Minister of State has just given a timeline of the occasions on which these parents have already been disappointed. We are none the wiser as to when this will come to pass.

They are still no wiser. Even if the...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Although my amendment No. 7 has not been grouped with this amendment, both amendments seek to address the same issue and have the same objective.

Education (Provision in Respect of Children with Special Educational Needs) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (6 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I partially addressed his matter in the previous amendment, but I will take the opportunity to discuss it. I will be brief because I am anxious to move to the next group of amendments. The Minister may say there is no question of resources not being in place but we hear from schools - maybe more so special schools than special classes but the legislation relates to that - that resources are...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Go raibh míle maith agaibh. I thank the witnesses for coming in and for the work YSI does nationally, as well as in the school in Carnew. It is very beneficial that Senator Casey is bringing them in to meet the Minister. That is very useful. I am a fan of YSI. I participated in 2005, which was not today or yesterday.
