David Cullinane: ...got it right. As I said, he has been too slow to respond on occasion and clumsy at times in how he has approached many of the issues.

All of that has created confusion and led to the mixed messages people have spoken about over the past while. It has created anger, resentment and...

Mother and Baby Institutions: Statements (25 Nov 2021)

Patricia Ryan: ...me wrong; I am not church bashing. Several denominations were involved and God knows what might have happened without them. Considering some of the things that did happen, it would be fair to say you would not treat a dog like that. There was little or no oversight, and the result has been the tales of pain and misery we have read in the report of the mother and baby homes commission. I...

Michael Collins: ...I can see at first hand the disaster this Government has allowed to happen, which has led to many incidents in west Cork. I even raised these incidents with the Taoiseach.

There are a small number of ambulances in west...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2021)

...I do not think it is possible to have a discussion about assessment reform without discussing curricular reform. The two cannot be decoupled but assessment is the tail that wags the curricular dog. The task of reform then begins with decisions regarding assessment.
