Is léir go bhfuil géarghá le comhrá cuimsitheach ar an ábhar seo agus go bhfuil réiteach na bhfaidhbe seo ag teastáil láithreach ar mhaithe le daltaí na hardteiste 2025. I thank Senator Pat Casey, with whom I have worked closely on this issue in recent weeks. Like...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: State Examinations (9 Apr 2025)
Shane Curley: I thank the Minister of State for the response. I understand it is hard in real time to gather data on a current issue, in this case the number of applications. However, there seems to be some dispute and ambiguity as regards what percentage of applications received this year were from previous leaving certificate years and students who had the grades that were increased by, on average,...
- Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2025)
Shane Curley: Mar a dúirt an Cathaoirleach Ghníomhach, níor chóir don Aire Stáit a bheith róchrua air féin. Tá an-Ghaeilge aige agus rinne sé iarracht.

I offer congratulations to the Cathaoireach on his new role and wish him the best of luck for the next few years in the work ahead. It is a huge honour to be standing in this Chamber as a Senator.

- Seanad: Cathaoirleach a Thoghadh - Election of Cathaoirleach (12 Feb 2025)
Shane Curley: I was just going to say that I am playing senior hurling now. The responsibility of the role is not lost on me. I might not have a hurl in my hand anymore but I have a key role to play in this Chamber, and I want to play it well, if I can. Mar a deir an seanfhocal, agus mar chonclúid, is de réir a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin. I look forward to five years of...
