Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: What Ms Sheridan O'Callaghan just said is very succinct in some ways. Talking to a stranger is an artificial situation. If the oral exam was held with five or six people, together with an examiner, and with a conversation that is bouncing back and forth, it might be easier to make people more comfortable and more aware. On a further point, when a student goes to college, nowadays there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: With respect to Mr. Sharpe's comments, it is strange how things can come around. I did my leaving certificate 40 years ago and at that stage there were technical colleges and what he describes is specifically what they were aimed at. They ensured that trades would involve the required skills. It was where people with an interest in woodwork and metalwork or trades went and where people...

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfuil an deis againn labhairt ar an mBille seo. Níl a fhios agam cén fáth go bhfuilimid ag glacadh roinnt den Bhille ag an staid seo mar níl deifir ag baint leis. D’fhéadfadh muid déileáil leis san athbhliain nuair a bheidh an Dáil ar ais agus nuair nach mbeadh an brú céanna orainn mar ní...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We are back here again trying to address this issue, which is a pity. If the Government had listened not just to what we were saying but what the market was saying, it would not be bringing in this legislation, at this stage, to cap rent increases at 2%. If the Minister had listened to what we said, he would be aware of what the increases in the past were doing and that no increases should...

Health (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Second Stage (2 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ní raibh mé ag súil le bheith istigh chomh luath seo tar éis an oíche aréir. Tá mé beagáinín scattered sa mhéid atá le rá agam. My colleague indicated we would be supporting the Bill but we have tabled a number of amendments. They are similar to amendments we have tabled in other instances where this type of emergency measure...
