Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Education and the UNCRPD: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)

Holly Cairns: While I welcome any opportunity to engage with the Minister, it is unacceptable, frankly, that it has taken so long for her to appear before the committee. We sought a date before the summer recess, when known issues could have been highlighted before the new school year commenced. We are already several weeks into that term and the situation has worsened in some cases. All present know...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Education and the UNCRPD: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)

Holly Cairns: On the point I was trying to make in respect of summer provision, the Minister's response was that not all of the schools are taking it up and it is a voluntary programme. That is the point. It needs to be standardised. When it is voluntary, that means there are children who are not able to access education. The point I was trying to get across is that children are entitled to that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Education and the UNCRPD: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)

Holly Cairns: The Minister stated that there is no assessment in respect of SNAs. Perhaps I said "assessment" but I meant to say "allocation". Surely when people go to the appeal and exceptional review process they are appealing something, be it an allocation or an assessment. As I stated, 50% of those appeals are granted. The allocation is not working. It is being put back on schools and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Education and the UNCRPD: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)

Holly Cairns: The Minister said that I articulated that this provision somehow reduced the stress or burden on parents. I did not say that at all. From what I have experienced in my constituency office, I know that these parents are worried, stressed and at the end of their tethers. They know that there is a short period for intervention in order that their children can live full and independent lives....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (14 Sep 2022)

Holly Cairns: I think the Ceann Comhairle's analysis is accurate. Unfortunately, that was not a very reassuring response from the Minister of State. Rhetoric like Sharing the Vision around mental health services is utterly irrelevant when we are talking about a reduction from 18 beds to 11. Like the Ceann Comhairle said, these people will be moved somewhere else but facilities like Carraig Mór do...
