Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: "Long-awaited" is the phrase most associated with this Bill, and I certainly welcome it. Farmers in Mayo desperately need this legislation but we need it to mean something. A number of things need to be done on Committee Stage in order to get this right. I ask the Minister to work with us, including my colleague, Deputy Carthy, to make sure we get it right because it is a one-off...

Public Dental Services: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank my colleagues for allowing me time to speak and the Regional Group for bringing forward the motion. I am supposed to be in Mayo at the moment but I stayed on because this issue is such a problem in the county. No dentists are taking on new clients. This is not just coming to the fore now; it has been going on for months and it must be addressed. I wish to follow on from the point...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Wally Kirwan, H.E. Dr. Eamonn McKee and Dr. Martin Mansergh (19 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank our guests for the work they have done for the Good Friday Agreement, achieving it, and for sharing their experiences with us. I acknowledge that in respect of all three of our guests. In his opening remarks, Mr. Kirwan referred to the Ireland's Future event. I also attended that event. Indeed, people travelled from all over the country and from abroad. Irish people came home...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am sharing time with Deputies Tully and Carthy. The farmers will make the assessment as to whether the Minister is listening to them or what he is doing for them. I thank my colleague, Deputy Carthy, for bringing this motion to the floor of the House. The Minister is not listening. People in rural Ireland, including Mayo, are completely perplexed and alarmed by what he is trying to do...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Small and Medium Enterprises (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I wish both of the Deputies well in the future and congratulate them on their new roles. I wish to bring to the Minister's attention, under the section of small businesses, that agriculture and farming probably make up most of the small businesses in rural Ireland. I wish to bring to the Minister's attention, in terms of the transfer of bank accounts from Ulster Bank and from banks that are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Small and Medium Enterprises (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes. Will the Minister intervene with the banks and make them aware that they were supposed to do everything possible to make that transition as smooth as possible, but farmers are now finding that they do not have the overdraft facilities they had before. They are in real difficultly around that issue.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Banking Sector (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 72. To ask the Minister for Finance the assessments that have and will be undertaken with regards to the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears, CCMA, including the suite of alternative repayment arrangements; his plans to give the code full legal effect; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Banking Sector (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister. There are serious problems in how what the Minister's spoke about is being adhered to and how it is being enforced. The issues are well-documented in the Free Legal Advice Centres, FLAC, From Pillar to Post series published in the last number of years. As the Minister said, it is crucial to ensure that the CCMA is fit for purpose, especially in the context of the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Banking Sector (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We need this to work for homeowners. There is clear evidence, as the Central Bank has warned on many occasions, that the waterfall of alternative repayment arrangements has not been sufficiently worked through by lenders. The easy reflex option of sale to third parties and vulture funds has been used, rather than finding sustainable solutions for borrowers. There is a cohort of borrowers...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Business Supports (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Government has made a big mistake by not including LPG in the TBESS, which is designed to help viable businesses to survive in the current spike in energy prices. This has excluded many rural businesses unfairly from the support scheme. The Minister of State must appreciate the fear and anger caused in rural Ireland when businesses were informed by Revenue that the TBESS will only apply...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Business Supports (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The crux of matter seems to be the auditing, showing the exact usage and the measurement issue. If we can prove to the Minister of State or Revenue, which I believe we can beyond any doubt whatsoever, the exact usage, the number of units and the exact costs and do absolute comparisons in the same way that is done elsewhere, can this scheme be applied retrospectively to those who have missed...
