Climate Action Plan 2021: Statements (23 Nov 2021)

Pauline Tully: The Government's climate action plan is lacking in leadership and it will place unfair burdens on ordinary people, while failing to deliver the real change that is needed. The Government's climate action plan is based on the principles of eco-austerity - much of the burden being placed on ordinary workers and families. This is equally the position for family farmers and rural...

From her conversations with the principal in Milltown, she knew the school was interested and had made an expression of interest in having an ASD unit but that it had not heard back. On foot of her query, I submitted a parliamentary...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (23 Nov 2021)

Pauline Tully: As the Minister of State indicated, not all schools are volunteering to have ASD units put in place. The numbers of people being assessed as having autism are increasing.

The Minister of State mentioned the free travel scheme and...

Pauline Tully: I welcome the Bill from the Social Democrats and agree that there needs to be a standardised teaching of health, relationships and sex education across all schools in Ireland.
