Rose Conway-Walsh: We might just have time for answers. Perhaps Ms Teggart could answer this question. If this goes ahead, how many families will be denied something as basic as an inquest?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK relations and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I believe the Chairman may allow me to speak first as I am not a permanent member of this committee but am obviously very interested in the discussion this morning. I am a member of the Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and these issues overlap. Indeed, I believe that had we had the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and the subsequent agreements,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK relations and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What I am hearing is that the institutions need to get back up and running as quickly as possible. I take Professor Shirlow's point about the wider analysis that must be done and the Department for the Economy can instruct that work in order that it brings certainty to business and industry, which can ascertain what it will be like in five or ten years' time. By having that certainty,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK relations and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Perhaps we will have other conversations about how we get that. If there is agreement on the protocol, if we open the door for Horizon again to part of that wider thing, it would be crucially important.

Report of Committee of Selection: Motion: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 7. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his recent meeting with the European Commissioner Margrethe Vestager. [57859/22]

Report of Committee of Selection: Motion: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Commissioner Vestager is very accustomed to problems in the Irish insurance market, having overseen the investigation into the motor insurance industry over recent years for operating a cartel. That investigation and political pressure from Sinn Féin and Deputy Pearse Doherty led the Government to set out the 66 actions on insurance reform. The Government recently published a report...

Report of Committee of Selection: Motion: Departmental Offices (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There are too many homes in the State paying dearly to heat the sky. It is clear that the Government's retrofitting plan is deeply unfair in its design. It prioritises those with greatest means over those with greatest need. A wealthy household can access €25,000 in publicly funded grants for the deep retrofit while many with far greater need cannot access basic measures such as...

Report of Committee of Selection: Motion: European Council (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 22. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his attendance at the European Council meeting held on 20 and 21 October 2022. [57860/22]

Report of Committee of Selection: Motion: European Council (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I wholeheartedly welcome the fact that the Government finally agreed to address the situation whereby gas sets the overall electricity prices, including renewable electricity. Capping renewables at €120 per MWh is welcome but when we consider that the average wholesale price of electricity in August was €388 - it has gone down to €137 per MWh for October - we see how...

Death of Professor Brian Hillery: Expressions of Sympathy (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Fáilte to all of the Hillery family. I will not attempt to name everybody. Professor Brian Hillery made a significant contribution to public life in Ireland. He did so not only in politics but also in the spheres of economics, business and academia. Following his passing in January 2021, President Higgins paid tribute to Professor Hillery saying, "those who served with him in the...

Social Welfare Bill 2022: Second Stage (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is very disappointing to hear Deputies, and the Deputy who has just left the Chamber in particular, trying to score points by saying people would be worse off under Sinn Féin. He quoted a lot of nonsense figures but left out the fact that in Sinn Féin's alternative budget, those earning less than €70,000 would get cash payments and there would also be payments for those...

Declaration of a Housing Emergency: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The motion calls on the Government to declare a housing emergency, which extends to student accommodation. Students are being forced to defer courses or to live in wholly unacceptable arrangements. The last three budgets of this Government did nothing for student accommodation, despite there being projects that could deliver 3,000 student beds that were just sitting on the shelf, as the...

Transport in Galway and Other Areas: Motion [Private Members] (23 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I welcome the motion and thank the Independent Group for tabling it. The vision set out would serve the people of Galway and the west well. I welcome, as always, the inclusion of the western rail corridor. It is rightly one of the key demands of the motion. This is yet another motion from the Opposition calling on the Government to begin construction. It is a turn-key project and all...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Will the Taoiseach and the Minister for Health make the HPV vaccine available to women over the age of 25? We all welcomed the decision that women under the age of 25 could get it free of charge from May. Will the Taoiseach ask the national immunisation advisory committee, NIAC, to look at this? I am asking only for those women for whom it has been deemed necessary that they get the...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Departmental Schemes (15 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 166. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment further to Parliamentary Question No. 67 of 8 November 2022, if there is any mechanism for persons and families living in multi-resident accommodation in which there are separate electricity meters but only one MPRN number to receive the electricity credit; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
