Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (12 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I join colleagues in extending sympathies to those who lost their lives in India and to Deputy Conway-Walsh on the loss of her mother. Will the Tánaiste tell me what steps the Government is taking in relation to the effects social media is having on our under-16s? What meetings have happened with social media companies? This is an issue I campaigned vigorously on during the local...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I want to get Mr. Darmody’s thoughts on this. Let us say I have a child who has perceived dyslexia, a sensory processing disorder or ADHD and, at the moment, my child can access services based on that potential diagnosis. There are also two-year-olds who might need to access home tuition or an autism class and they will need the diagnosis to access that service. Would Mr. Darmody be...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I am running out of time. I definitely knocked on doors in Mayo and there was no availability, but that might be different around the country. I will go to Ms Quigley, if I have time. I appreciated her presentation. I will turn to dignity in some of the assessments for disabled people. For example, with the primary medical certificate, if someone needs an augmented car, he or she has...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I will come back to Mr. Walsh because we were cut off mid-sentence the last time we were talking. I agree with him that we still leave disability to the medical model and the lens of health, support and care. We need a shift and I like the lens of accessibility: access to education, work and the community. There seems to be a whole-of-government focus now on disability. When I talk to TDs...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Research Ireland (10 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I thank the witnesses very much for their contributions. On the digital divide, from an economic viewpoint, what will cause the biggest divide?

Will it be a combination of all of those factors?...

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Keira Keogh: I thank all our guests for attending. I commend Cara not just on her recent efforts but her fight in general for her two brothers and all of the other children who are affected. I spoke to her dad outside Leinster House and explained that my background was in working with neurodiverse children and their families, so I am very aware of the struggles. I would love to hear her thoughts today....

Like everybody else, I am seeing the advertisement on the television at the moment about getting employers ready to report on the pay gap. The Minister mentioned that the centralised portal for reporting was under way. What is the progress...
