Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Sep 2025)

Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: What does it say about our State that it cannot ensure every child has an equal, just, flourishing and fun childhood? What does it say about our Government that it refuses to ensure every child has a bed to call their own?

School Transport: Statements (23 Sep 2025)

Many Members have covered, quite comprehensively, the structural flaws facing the transport scheme as it stands. It is probably difficult to comprehend any sort of acknowledgement that the scheme is getting better when it is a problem that...

School Transport: Statements (23 Sep 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: There are some children who have tickets for buses while their siblings do not. There is a real issue with school places. If children cannot get into their closest schools, they might have to travel 10 km, 15 km or 20 km to get a place in another school. However, they are not eligible for school transport. If we can join matters up, the scheme has the potential to work. Right now,...
