Access to Autism and Disability Assessments and Supports: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2023): Brendan Howlin: ...by others. I hope this will be a cathartic day. From what the Minister of State has said, I hope it will be and that there is real hope for those families in desperate need who right now feel that they are crying in the wilderness and are left to deal with their unimaginable burdens alone while they are unanswered by the State.
Access to Autism and Disability Assessments and Supports: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2023): Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ..., a motion on autism. That is because in our interactions with families who have autistic people within them, they know they are being treated as second-class citizens and they are exhausted.

KildareStreet search is case-insensitive, and tries to match all the search terms within a document.
To exclude a word from your search, put a minus ("-") sign in front, for example to find documents containing the word "representation" but not the word "taxation":
representation -taxation
To search for an exact phrase, use quotes (""). For example to find only documents contain the exact phrase "Mahon Tribunal":
"mahon tribunal"
If you want to search for words only when they're used near each other in the text, use "NEAR". For example, to find documents containing the word "elephant" near the word "room":
elephant NEAR room
If the search phrase matches (part of) a TD or Senator's name, their own page will appear as the top result, but will also search speeches made by them too.
From a person's page, you have the option to search only their speeches.
Advanced Users: You can perform boolean searches, with brackets, AND, OR, and XOR. There are many prefixes you can use directly instead of the advanced search form, here's a selection:
- party:Lab
- department:Defence
- section:seanad OR section:wrans
- section:debates
- section:committees
- date:20120918
- 20080101..20080131
