Rose Conway Walsh: With the broadband debacle, we are looking at the €3 billion and what will be got for that. We are looking at another seven years and whatever advances will be made in banking. As a rural dweller, I certainly do not trust that broadband will be delivered, even in the next seven years, to the area I come from. Banking technology will advance all the time but if people do not have the...

Rose Conway Walsh: I welcome that and agree with Mr. Coyle about fraud and scams. I had €2,000 taken from my credit card a couple of weeks ago through a Facebook account. I was apparently buying advertisements for sewing machines in Australia and ski jackets somewhere else and €2,000 went just like that, over a number of transactions. There are more and more ways in which people are looking to...

Rose Conway Walsh: I think there are financial crimes there. The anti-money laundering guidelines need to be revisited. I think that case will evolve. I want to ask two more questions. One relates to deeds of houses. If somebody has a loan on a house and pays it off in full, then asks at a local branch of an Ulster Bank for his or her deeds back, that person is told that they cannot be found. The person...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I again want to talk about the drug Spinraza. I very much welcome the decision made by the British Government and the National Health Service, NHS, to provide it for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy, SMA. It absolutely and definitively puts the onus on the Government and the HSE to approve the use of the drug here. I am delighted that another jurisdiction has reached a deal with...

Rose Conway Walsh: Like many others, I welcome the move by the Government to rectify the 2012 changes to the pensions and the recalculation process.

Rose Conway Walsh: As the Minister of State is in the House, I want to raise with him the issue of the Rehab services. Like many of the people who depend on those services and the people who work in Rehab, I am extremely worried around the funding situation. I ask the Minister of State to comment on that. I know he has had some meetings with the organisation and I hope some progress has been made. The...
