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...

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.

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.

These are people who have lost their jobs during the pandemic and are already suffering severe financial...
