Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary)
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We also need to be careful in that regard. Public private partnerships have long been called for. I would add a word of caution in respect of what that model ends up looking like. We must ensure we get proper value for the absolutely necessary investment. I do not believe that the €32 million is nearly enough but it is a move in the right direction. Much more than that amount will...

Rose Conway-Walsh: No, it is okay. I am concerned that caps are being put on the funding for some of the colleges, and I have been made aware that students have been told they will only get half as much as they got last year. I spoke with the Minister, Deputy Simon Harris, about this previously. Some of the colleges in the west were told this. It is of concern to me. Also, we need to be careful around how...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I too welcome the fifth and sixth year students who I met earlier. It is very important that they are here and I thank them for taking the time out. I saw the leaving certificate student in particular nodding to much of what Mr. Rolston was saying in regard to the anxiety and stress around the leaving certificate. The remarkable thing in Ms...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: May I make a suggestion? I do not know if the committee visited Moyross previously. It would be important for the committee - I know we have a sizeable work plan - to visit Moyross in order to see the model working and to discover where it is going to next.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank all the witnesses for their contributions. There is real value in these contributions. We should use them for all the witnesses we have before us in the future to test the answers and to generate our questions from what they have contributed today. I thank them for that because, without having that in the report we will do, it will be very lopsided. I hear what the witnesses say,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Did that add to your enjoyment of learning? Did you start to enjoy learning when you went to the life centre? Was that the difference?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: If schools were to adopt the approaches and the empathy shown in the life centre, that would make a difference to students and young people across the board. Is that what you are saying?

Building Defects: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Over the last few days, we have been warned about the severe weather conditions in the days ahead. Temperatures as low as -7°C have been mentioned. We are told not to be afraid to turn on the heating, that the Government will help. Now imagine living in a home affected by pyrite or mica in County Mayo or County Donegal with gaping gaps in the walls. There is wind and frost coming...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Very good. Is there a difference from your experience in the supports available at secondary level and then at third level?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The stigma you might have felt at second level is not there at third level, in his experience.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Good. I wish to ask another question. I am not sure who said this because I was so engrossed in what was being said I was not looking, but it was about physical education in secondary school and primary schools. I have always thought it unhealthy to expect students to sit all day in a classroom, go home, have a bite to eat and then study again for a number of hours. Do we need to look at...
