- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Integration of Early Years Learning into Primary Level: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
Eileen Flynn: I will start with something very positive. The changes for children in early education are welcomed by many parents. I know it is not enough for many parents - I get that - but it is a great starting point for the work of the children's committee, this committee, and others - mostly women - who are very passionate about childcare and early education in general. I know the grants for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Integration of Early Years Learning into Primary Level: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Direct Provision System (23 Oct 2024)
Eileen Flynn: I understand that the Minister of State does not have responsibility in this area but the reply is not good enough. He went into the issue of accommodation and the €30 per week that families in direct provision get but my question was about the implementation of the payment of €140 per month.
