Road Traffic (All Terrain Vehicle and Scrambler Motor-cycle) (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 May 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: I am really happy to have the opportunity to speak on this very important Bill. Unfortunately I do not believe it will address the issues. As my colleague Deputy Ellis said, if it passes Second Stage, which we will support, we will be moving amendments. This is a massive problem in my constituency of Limerick City. In estates across the city quads, dirt bikes and scramblers are driven on...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs Staff (8 May 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: Does the Minister agree that SNAs themselves are best placed to advise the NCSE and the Department on what needs to change to maximise the potential of an SNA working in a classroom? Leaving SNAs out of the conversation will backfire. It is short-sighted and contravenes what the Minister is trying to achieve.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: School Admissions (8 May 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: The Minister used the words "equity", "fairness" and "non-discriminatory" in his response. One of the barriers in the schools admission process is the rule many schools have in place giving preference to a student if his or her parent was a former student. The problem is that people whose parents did not go to the school and live in the area have no chance of going to the school. The rule...
