Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Jonathan Powell (30 Jun 2022)

Pauline Tully: I am pleased to meet Mr. Powell, albeit virtually. He states the Good Friday Agreement and subsequent agreements were remarkably successful. I think we can all agree with that. They brought peace to this island. They ended a 30-year conflict and, as Mr. Powell says, they allowed political parties to concentrate on the day-to-day issues that affect people living in the North. However,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Pauline Tully: I thank the Chairman and wish the Minister of State good morning. The Minister of State referenced that she is in favour of and aspires to inclusive education. However, the special units she proposed a few weeks ago could not be further from inclusion. Has that proposal been completely withdrawn at this stage? We all know children will blossom if they are in the correct setting with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Pauline Tully: Those reports were good as an indicator to the child coming into the school. I used to do outreach with the schools the children came in from. There was a good relationship there. However, it is not done by all schools and that needs to be improved big time.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Pauline Tully: Resource teachers are still not being valued and in some cases are being withdrawn from their duties to substitute in a mainstream class. That is still happening depending on the school, but it should not happen at all. I brought up with the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, that non-SEN teachers are being put into autism classes, for example, are being told to teach there for a couple...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Pauline Tully: I thank the witnesses for their in-depth presentations. There is not much I would disagree with in them. I still think there is resistance from some schools, both primary and post-primary, to open special classes or classes for autistic children. I was a teacher in post-primary and was the SEN co-ordinator for a number of years. There were a number of other second level schools in the...

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

Pauline Tully: Okay. We can see how people, especially parents of these children, can be frustrated. Most of us enrol our children in secondary schools in November for the following September but we are now at the end of June and coming to July and these children still do not have a place. We can see how worrying it is for such parents.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Inclusive Transport Schemes: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)

Pauline Tully: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. On this committee, we are aware of the importance of accessible transport, both public and private. The motorised transport grant was for the purpose of retaining employment but we have come to realise that transport is necessary for more than employment. It also gives access to education, shopping and socialising so that people can live...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Education and the UNCRPD: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Jul 2022)

Pauline Tully: I thank the Chairman. As regards the discussion the Minister and I had last week, to which he referred, I went back to the student in question and he said that after much fighting with the college, the situation has been resolved. He will get a second personal assistant, PA, which is good news because he was thinking of withdrawing from the course, which would have been an awful pity. He...
