Rose Conway Walsh: I would appreciate if Mr. Reid could come back through the committee secretariat. I also want an update on the audiology misdiagnoses in Mayo and Roscommon, the scandal that took place there. Do the witnesses have any update on that?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: It was important to encourage people to vote in favour of the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union and candidates who wanted to remain in the Union. The voices of those in the North who wish to remain within the European Union have to be heard, but they are not being heard at Westminster. I have no doubt that Martina and Naomi will work very well together in the European...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I want to ask the witnesses about how they see things going regarding the growth of the dairy industry and the impact this will have on beef.

They are hugely important, but unless we sort out where the €2.4 billion...

Rose Conway Walsh: Go raibh maith agat and I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Has anything been learned or has anything changed? This paints a really bad picture of where things are at.

They have said that there are...

Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Butler referred to Carillion and the impact of the audit company ruling Carillion was in a good state of health and the small and medium businesses have really suffered as a result of that.

Rose Conway Walsh: Surely governments are there to protect citizens. We are talking about all of this and why it happened but the impact on Irish citizens was enormous. Indeed, there is a continuing impact in terms of vulture funds and the way the banks have behaved towards citizens. The banks have been given a free hand by the Government to do just what they want.
