Can the Minister of State imagine what it is like for homeowners trying to heat homes where cracks are coming down the walls and the wind is blowing through them?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister needs to come to Mayo. He needs to talk to these homeowners. They are absolutely sick and tired of the scheme being presented as if somehow it is being gifted to them by the Government. What is forgotten in all of this is that these people have been failed time and again. They have been failed in the very beginning by the light regulation and in how they have been exposed to...

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to thank the Social Democrats' Members for tabling this motion. Unfortunately, they should not have had to do this. We are coming back here time and time again. My colleague, Deputy Funchion, tabled a motion some months ago quite similar to this. We keep coming back to the same issue, which is that this legislation is exclusionary. Even at this stage, we are excluding people. We...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is an absolute chronic shortage of home care workers. We have a complete crisis in the delivery of home care. When the Taoiseach says that there are 20.4 million hours – a 17% increase – it means nothing to the man in his 90s who has been approved for two home help visits a day but cannot get them. He has been unable to leave hospital since 25 September. Another man in...

Rose Conway-Walsh: This legislation aims to improve the accountability - perhaps I should say it will "introduce" accountability - of senior executives in the banking, insurance and wider financial sector and should ultimately protect customers and even the wider economy, which can suffer when the financial sector is left unregulated.
