Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Special Educational Needs (11 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Will the Minister of State outline the actions she has taken to ensure deaf and hard of hearing students can reach their full academic potential?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Special Educational Needs (11 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: My understanding is that deaf and hard-of-hearing children are getting less support than before under the new SET model. Guidelines for 2024-25 allocate virtually all hours to children who are at the lowest levels in standardised tests. This means the Department now interprets educational needs solely on low scores, without reference to ability or potential. Deaf or hard-of-hearing...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Special Educational Needs (11 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: I will pass that on to my colleague, Sorca Clarke. Phase 1 of the scheme for ISL classroom assistants and school advisers was first announced on 2 March 2022 and an implementation plan announced in November 2022. Advocates believe only a fraction of the envisaged 40 posts in phase 1 have been filled to date and the narrow medical criteria are a barrier to many children getting the support...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: I welcome the passing of this Bill. It is very important that we have worked collaboratively on it. The Bill is necessary and will have an impact on many students. We have seen that, unfortunately, vulture funds specifically have begun to use 51-week leases as a way of forcing students to pay even more for student accommodation. We must tackle student accommodation and affordability from...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: We are meeting here today at a time when the torture of the people of Gaza and Palestine continues. At this moment in time, we really need to consider our role and what we can do on the international stage. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, continues to tell us that US military planes landing in Shannon Airport are not carrying weapons bound for Israel despite his acknowledgement that no serious...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Bhí mé buartha faoin gceist seo sular thosaigh muid. Caithfidh mé a bheith ionraic - tá mé i bhfad níos buartha anois ná nuair a thosaigh muid an cruinniú seo. Sílim nach dtuigeann David Leahy agus Anne McHugh céard atá i gceist againn anseo i ndáiríre agus an fáth go bhfuil muid buartha faoi seo. Faraor, tá mé...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Ar an scéim teanga mar sin, an bhfuil David Leahy ag rá nach bhfuil riachtanas dlíthiúil ag baint leis an scéim teanga? An bhfuil sé ag rá nach bhfuil ceangal dlí ag baint leis an scéim teanga atá ag GRETB? Tá nó níl.

Mairéad Farrell: Ach deir sé go mbeadh riachtanas Gaeilge leo ar leathanach 18 den scéim teanga. Deir sé go bhfuil riachtanas ann.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Ní bhaineann sé leis an duine; baineann sé leis gcaoi nach raibh sé riachtanach go mbeadh Gaeilge aige nó aici. Is í an cheist atá agam ná go luaitear é ar leathanach 18 den scéim teanga atá ag GRETB - níor fhoilsigh mise é; d'fhoilsigh GRETB é - mar phost a mbaineann riachtanas leis. Cén fáth nach bhfuil...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Is cuma, mar sin, faoi céard atá sa scéim teanga.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Ní hé sin a deirtear sa scéim seo. Ar leathanach 18, úsáidtear an focal "riachtanas". Is faoi riachtanais atáimid ag caint an t-am ar fad. Táim ag iarraidh a bheith soiléir faoi seo. Ní bhaineann sé leis an duine atá tar éis an post a fháil. Is cuma faoi sin. Baineann sé leis an bhfógra a cuireadh amach. Ón...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Tá sé sin suimiúil. Gabhaim buíochas as sin. Ón méid a dtuigeann mise, tá sé sin sa scéim teanga agus, mar gheall air sin, tá cúram dlíthiúil i gceist. Tá dara ceist agam ar an ábhar seo. Conas gur féidir leis an mbord a fhreagracht reachtúil i leith seirbhísí trí mheán na Gaeilge a...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Mairéad Farrell: Cén líon daoine? Tá sé sin tábhachtach.
