- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (2 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously, there is preparation and a run-in to all of this. What have our guests done around the exchange rate because that would be relevant as well? One would assume that the North would give up the British pound and move to the euro. In terms of the figures being put forward, what exchange rate have the Professors assumed?

Rose Conway-Walsh: I think that is it, in terms of the assumptions that have to be made. I am looking forward to the macroeconomic model and I do want to commend the ESRI and IBEC on their initiative. That will tell us a lot and give us a lot to work on. There have been many contributions made to this debate and the better data we have, the more we can accurately take the emotion out of it. We all have...

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Committee Stage (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Sorry. On section 6, obviously it provides for the investment policy of the future investment fund but at present the only specification under the investment strategy is that moneys may be invested inside and outside of the State. The State is suffering from a chronic housing shortage and infrastructure deficits. Our concern relates to the constraining effect that legislated contributions...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I spoke to the Taoiseach last week about the defective concrete blocks situation and what needed to be done there. Today, I raise with him a similar issue. His Government promised to introduce a redress scheme for homeowners living with Celtic tiger-era building defects. Legislation was published last year and emergency funding was to be made available for fire safety works. I am making...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: We will split up the Donegal representation and go to Mayo now. Obviously, a lot of the issues arising in Donegal are also happening in Mayo. We have a whole list of things that need to happen in Mayo for people to get on and I really welcome the opportunity to talk to our guests here today. I want to start with Engineers Ireland and its opening statement. In one paragraph, Mr. O'Dowd...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Can I just stop Mr. O'Dowd there? He said earlier that in some instances issues have arisen due to a recommendation for a remediation option by an engineer employed by the home owner differing from the option determined by the Housing Agency. That is what I want to tease out, the gap between the Housing Agency and the engineer.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: In the meantime, where do the houses that have been demolished and are being rebuilt sit? Why is it taking so long to a new standard? The science and a lot of evidence is available. Why is it taking so long and what will the homeowners who are building right now do?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Where somebody has not tested the foundations because they have not been able to afford to, given this is not a 100% scheme and affordability is an enormous issue for people, they might take the risk and say they have been told the foundations should be okay, but they may not be okay. What happens then, if there is not sign-off on it and we come to a point where it does not meet the new...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (1 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, it absolutely is. That was clear before today but it is absolutely clear now. Turning to Insurance Ireland, in this situation, where the homeowner finds out a bit later down the line that the building does not meet the new standard, what will happen in respect of insurance?
