Science Week: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-15
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

Well, I am not the best computer programmer, and we can all agree on that.
I would like to mention that transition year students in St. Louis Secondary School in Dundalk, alongside the transition year students in the Dominican College in Drumcondra, are involved in putting on “Science Week Live!”. It is on today, Monday, Wednesday and Friday and they are doing this alongside Dr. Niamh Shaw. Many people would know who Dr. Niamh Shaw is. She is a communicator, a scientist, an engineer and a writer and, hopefully, she will be Dundalk’s answer to Neil Armstrong. That is positive stuff.
Beyond that, we know where we need to take real action, such as in the area of climate change. We know the issues we have had in the tech industry, but it is still a major industry for us. We have a significant amount of work to do. We are at a decent starting point and we need to make sure that we put the funding, frameworks and resources together to ensure we can do real business in the future.
