Rose Conway Walsh: Who is accountable?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Therefore is the RCOG accountable?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Therefore the RCOG is accountable. Part of the reason I ask is that one person in particular has been campaigning for answers since last April about the death of his partner of 22 years, who died of cervical cancer in 2017. He is getting no response whatsoever. He consented to the smear being audited as soon as he was asked but he has no idea. Think how this must compound his grief when...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I would appreciate it if Mr. McCallion could do so as this is what I mean when I speak of accountability in communication. I do not think any of it is acceptable, including the empty promise that was made, which was surprising from someone with a medical background. I completely understand what Mr. McCallion is saying in terms of being able to comment on any of that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Cathaoirleach and wish him and everyone here a happy St. Valentine's Day. I raise the appalling revelation that emerged overnight that evidential materials were withheld by the PSNI from the police ombudsman in the North in the case of the atrocity at a bookmakers on the Ormeau Road in which five people were killed and several others injured. Relatives for Justice and its...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I want to address what has just been said by Senators on my left and their party leader about the non-disclosure of information by the PSNI. Does Fianna Fáil think it is okay for the PSNI to withhold vital, significant and sensitive information? That is my question for Micheál Martin. Is Fianna Fáil okay with that?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I wish to ask a number of questions.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am not addressing Senator Noone.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know the Fianna Fáil Party has a confidence and supply arrangement with the Government. If the Fianna Fáil Party has full confidence in the PSNI does it think it is okay that the PSNI has withheld vital significant information? It is not me who is saying that it is significant information, it is Dr. Michael Maguire, the police ombudsman. There are at least 20 families across...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Have its representatives asked these families what they want?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Have they total disregard for these families? That is the reason that last week we asked for the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, to come to this House to tell Members what the Irish Government was doing about this issue. Is the Government going to turn its back? If Fianna Fáil thinks it is okay to have no accountability, saying that is fine, and the computer was...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Feb 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: If the Fianna Fáil Senator wants to stand over it, stand full square behind it. We are not standing over it and we will make no apologies for that. Trying to make party politics at the expense of these families is wrong. Perhaps one of the Fianna Fáil Senators would respond to me if he or she has spoken to the families in question because they are the people at the centre of...
