Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 January 2026
909. Deputy Pádraig Rice asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 571 of 20 January 2026, if she will meet with a group to discuss their seizure safe schools campaign (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6525/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department and I are always open to considering requests for meetings, as appropriate. Should Epilepsy Ireland wish to do so, they should send their request in writing to my office in the Department. In requesting such a meeting it is important to outline any proposals or concerns they may have. It is also important that the correspondence relates to matters within the remit of this Department. That is the provision of specialist community-based disability services for children with complex needs.
If such proposals or issues relate to training of school staff or policies within schools then this is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Education and Youth and Epilepsy Ireland should continue to engage with the Department for Education and Youth in that regard.
