Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (16 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: "Of course, the overarching issue is going to be that of the budget ... We have to look at this against a backdrop where, in the past ten years, there has been a 20% drop in the income coming to Irish farmers from CAP ... It is crucial that a line be drawn under the matter and that those reductions be stopped. I do not believe any reduction in the next CAP will be acceptable." Those are the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I can give the Minister an example of why the insurance companies are completely ignoring both him and the Minister of State. A business local to Belmullet has seen its insurance premium go from €1,233 in 2020 to in excess of €4,000 in 2021. This is a small business with a small turnover. Those kinds of extortionate increases would be crippling at the best of times but to try...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate what the Minister is saying but it is of no use to the business in Belmullet that has seen the price of insurance increase by so much. It is already a scandal that insurance companies are trying to escape paying for business disruption, despite it being exactly the type of protection people in business pay for. We have seen the industry resist passing on any savings to people's...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate what the Minister said. However, I have been contacted by business owners to say that, when they looked at their credit rating, they found it had been impacted because of their inability to meet bills, particularly at the beginning of the pandemic.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to ask the Minister about businesses that have had their credit scores reduced during the Covid-19 pandemic and the potential impact this could have now on their ability to borrow.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (15 Jun 2021)

When we were at the beginning of the pandemic, absolutely suddenly and without warning, revenue streams were cut off from businesses. Yet, as the Minister knows, they had many fixed costs and bills they had to pay. Many businesses could not pay...
