Youth Mental Health: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Since the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, assumed office, I know she has fought tooth and nail for every resource she can get: material, personnel - the whole lot.

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Chair. I am sorry I was delayed. I was at another meeting but I have listened to a good bit of the debate. Many of these questions have probably been asked so I will be brief. Something I take from my time teaching is that I always tried to examine what the students knew rather than what they did not know. That was the principle that I always tried to take into my own...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jan 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank Mr. Tattan for that. I have just one question and a comment as well. Following on from Deputy Ó Laoghaire in relation to reports about what is happening with the Irish language, I spent most of my career teaching Irish and I suppose I would like to think that I know the challenges in terms of what is ahead for the language. Mr. Tattan will not probably respond ahead of the...

A number of clubs have until 27 January to furnish the Department with further details. While I will not hold...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (20 Jan 2022)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I echo that sentiment. The Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, said February is a good month to announce grants.
