Education: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-28
============================================================

Martin Conway (FG), Administrative Panel

I wish the Minister well. I stand here because I am always concerned in these cases that students with disabilities could potentially be left behind because of the challenges they suffer anyway. I refer particularly to students with vision impairments. I came across several cases during the lockdown where visiting teachers had made no contact whatever with such students. Will the Minister look at addressing such cases? I know 30 seconds is not adequate but that is life.
