Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Lyme Disease: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is not about diagnosis. I just want to be able to advise people not to go abroad based on the numbers of diagnoses, which were proved incorrect last year and the previous year, in order that they would not waste their time fundraising and so on because the chances would be that they were wrong. I am not doing diagnoses or anything, I just want the information to support that. We...

Rose Conway Walsh: What role can our guests play in ensuring that the situation about which I was informed will not be repeated? A person presented to a hospital and the clinician laughed in her face and told her to go home. Subsequently, she attended the surgery of a sympathetic GP who asked whether it could be Lyme disease. The GP performed the test and the result was positive. Is there a role our guests...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on the Agrifood Sector (4 Dec 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the witnesses very much for their very useful presentations on technical matters and tariffs in the context of what the cost of Brexit is likely to be. The witnesses commended Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland, the Revenue Commissioners, the Government and InterTradeIreland for being prepared and for the work they have done. Are they prepared for a "no deal" Brexit? That is my question.

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Dec 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: The Minister for Health has announced a new autism plan for next year. I ask that he be invited to the House so that we can discuss the plan in detail and give him our input and views on it. We must ensure that the plan works for people with autism and their families.
