Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank our guest speakers for those contributions. I would greatly appreciate, with the indulgence of the Chair, if our guests might give the committee a synopsis of that, where things are at, and any suggestions that they might have, particularly in respect of submissions that we could make to the Irish Government and the part that it needs to play to move that on. We are finding many of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement: Discussion (22 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Ms Kilpatrick will not have time to answer this in my slot but she might be able to do so in the others. Does she share Amnesty International's observation that it sets a dangerous precedent internationally, including by signalling to other states that they too can ignore human rights obligations?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement: Discussion (22 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have real concerns about resources not being available for the two commissions for the work that needs to be done and to maintain independence. I am always mindful of the Combat Poverty Agency, which operated here, I think. Not to equate the two, but it did really valuable work. The value of that type of work is huge. I do not know if the witnesses could give us some more information as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Transport Issues: Engagement with Minister for Education (21 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What is unfortunate about this is it could have been avoided with proper budgeting and planning. For the Minister to put the blame on Bus Éireann and to state that she looked at all the options and the company did not raise any issue is deflecting responsibility. It is the Minister's responsibility. It was referred to earlier that the Minister inherited the criteria. We must be...

What is the Minister doing to bring the review forward so that it is published and the recommendations within the review can be implemented to change these crazy criteria?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Prices (20 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to make the Minister aware of a problem with the SEAI and businesses applying for grants. Businesses that have applied for grants are not getting a response quickly enough. In some cases they are not getting a response at all. I know one business that has been told it will be informed in November. These businesses have laid out a lot of money, up to €180,000 in some cases....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Broadband Plan (20 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What does the Minister of State say to people in Mayo who, when they key in their postcode, find that they will get broadband in 2025 and 2026? What does he say to the people who key in their postcode and are excluded, because they are deemed to have a service, when they cannot do the very basics in downloading and uploading? Is he concerned that we have not future-proofed this plan and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (20 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Since last year, I have been raising the need to end the crazy situation whereby sky-high gas prices set the price for all electricity, and the need to decouple electricity prices from gas prices. Each time the Minister and the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste have dismissed it out of hand. It is unacceptable for the Minister to continually hide behind the EU. Energy policy is a shared...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Housing Policy (20 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Housing for All mentions student accommodation only once. The student accommodation emergency was brought into focus last week when the French embassy warned its students against coming to Ireland. We are in a shameful situation, with students who have worked hard and families who have sacrificed to get their children to college now finding they are locked out of their courses and career of...
