Education Policy
Seanad Éireann — 2026-06-18
============================================================

Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I wish them the very best of good luck. It is a huge achievement on the robotics competition in Missouri as well. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the civic reception this evening but the Senator might convey my congratulations to all concerned, particularly the students.
Inclusive education is all about ensuring that everybody's strengths are being harnessed within the education system and encouraging students across all levels. Education is the great enabler, both at primary and post-primary school, to give people confidence into adulthood and into life. Many comments are made in relation to our education system. Our education system is world class and has been very successful; it is a great enabler. This is a hugely inclusive piece as well. I will reflect on it. It falls under the just transition fund, but we will go back to see if there is any other source to which we could direct it. I wish the Senator's school and, indeed, everybody else who is involved in it the very best.
