Brexit and Business: Statements (7 Oct 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In February 2018, the Government published a report that it had commissioned on the impact of Brexit on the Irish economy.

It confirmed at the time what we already knew, namely, that there will be no good Brexit for Ireland, with a crash-out Brexit being all too real a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Government Fund (7 Oct 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am disappointed with the Minister of State's answer. We cannot lay this issue at the feet of elected members of county councils. They cannot manage the austerity that is being imposed upon them and nor can the people whom the Government is trying to get to empty their pockets again. These are people who have lost their jobs during the pandemic and are already suffering severe financial...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Government Fund (7 Oct 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It will be no surprise that I will talk about Mayo County Council and the people of Mayo. The estimated 2021 Covid impact is €7.2 million, which represents 68% of the €10.6 million discretionary spend which will trigger severe austerity unless the gap is filled. This will affect local roads in one of the largest counties in the country. We need to remember that people are...

Roadmap for Living with Covid-19: Statements (1 Oct 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to concentrate my remarks on front-line staff and their situation in terms of burnout and stress. Front-line staff are at burnout and cannot continue to work overtime in understaffed conditions. This is not safe or fair to the staff or the patients they care for. Trolleys line the corridors and there is not enough staff to look after patients. Staff are being moved from one area to...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Oct 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have listened intently to the Minister. It is obvious there was no good news to be announced this morning because the Minister's Fine Gael Cabinet colleagues are not here. There is an absolute crisis in the Government. I do not think the Minister understands it. From start to finish, we have had months of this in terms of the leaving certificate. It is unbelievable that the Minister...
