Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy and Education: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It was less a question about the work involved because I do not think any of the schools are averse to the work involved but there is quite an elongated timeline from when needs are first identified in a child to the child getting the appropriate supports. The universal design for learning piece needs digging into but we cannot do it in the one minute and 47 seconds available to me so I...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (6 Jul 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I see from media reports yesterday that the Commission on Taxation and Welfare has completed its work and submitted its report, which presumably sits on the Minister's desk at the minute. Again from media reports, I see that it has identified the upcoming hole in the finances that will be caused by decreasing motor tax revenues in the future. It also apparently includes a consideration of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Pre-budget Submission from Dóchas and Global Food Crisis: Discussion (21 Jun 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Chairman on the double: first, for allowing me to be here at all; and, second, for allowing me to contribute far earlier than I could reasonably have expected. I hope to be speaking in the Dáil on some of these issues during the pre-European Council statements shortly. As a result, I apologise if I have to leave straight away after receiving the witnesses' answers. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Young Social Innovators: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The first meeting of the Joint Committee on Autism is happening today, so I apologise that I have to take off early. I am delighted to see so many sustainable development goal badges on people around the committee room.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Jul 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Taoiseach for his comprehensive update on what was discussed at the European Council. None of us is surprised that the Russian aggression in Ukraine and the resulting outcomes dominated much of the meeting. It is striking to hear the language used and reiterated by the Taoiseach in describing some of the Russian actions as war crimes. That is not a term to be used lightly but...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Jul 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I heard an informed and nuanced contribution from Deputy Conway-Walsh. I do not always hear that nuance or honesty in some communications. As Deputy Gannon said, of course we must do everything we can to insulate people from rising energy costs. However, it is disingenuous to say that across Europe, it would be possible to do this in a way that does not translate in some way to...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Jul 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: We are also seeing the weaponisation of food.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (13 Jul 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: We are seeing that in particular in the Horn of Africa. Deputy Boyd Barrett's glib commentary in the face of what is unfolding in the Horn of Africa is misplaced. We are seeing human misery unfolding at an unprecedented level. I am being told by people who are experts in the area, including representatives of Oxfam and Dóchas, that this is dwarfing the unthinkable situation that...
