I might start with Ms Murphy if that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion. (28 May 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Great, it sounds very good. As there are time limitations, I will move on to Mr. Irfan. I welcome him back. He is nearly a regular visitor at this stage. On the subject of climate action and sustainable development he mentioned, when he responded to Deputy Clarke he referenced it involves organising, campaigning and protesting. As somebody who has been doing that for the past 20 years, I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion. (28 May 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Absolutely. It gives people a level of confidence, which is so important, when they advocate for themselves and others in life in general. That is very interesting.

In their collaborative opening statement, for which, unfortunately, I was not present, they mentioned the better representation of innovation in...

Report of the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Motion (23 May 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I ask for the Members' indulgence. I notice that according to what is before me we will next hear from the Minister of State, Deputy Mary Butler. The only Member speaking afterwards is Deputy Sorca Clarke and then we are back to the Minister of State. It is a bit disjointed. It might be better to hear Deputy Clarke first and then we can give the Minister of State the additional time....

Report of the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Motion (23 May 2024)

Sorca Clarke: They say it is a rarity but let us prove them wrong, a Cheann Comhairle. I will start by saying something that will make me and everyone else here sound like an old fogey.
