Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach (27 Apr 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Can you get both, though? Can you get some funding from the reconciliation fund and some from the - what did Ms O'Donoghue call it? The civic-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach (27 Apr 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I see opportunities as well in PEACEPLUS when that is open because it will cover the whole island, not just the councils confined to the Border, as used to be the case. The programme will be spread to all local authorities. I want to ask the witnesses about biodiversity. What if a community has a biodiversity project in respect of which it wants to do a twinning with a community in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach (27 Apr 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That would be great. I thank Mr. Duffy. Ms O'Donoghue talked about hydrogen. That is really interesting. We all recognise that we have to tackle climate change on an all-island basis, but we really need the all-island hydrogen strategy to be able to do that, to be able to advance renewables in the way we need and to capitalise on the Atlantic economic corridor. I am really glad about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach (27 Apr 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I commend what is coming from the ESRI, notwithstanding the data gaps that are there. It is excellent. The CSO has put out a call for consultations as to what it might do differently or better. We put the request in through the finance committee and the Committee on Budgetary Oversight that it would have better congruence in respect of the data it is producing with the data in the North so...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach (27 Apr 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes. There are still gaps there. Has the shared island unit any role to play in the European Court of Human Rights and the different movement there in respect of the British Government's detraction of rights and how we can secure uniformity of rights across the island? Is that something the shared island unit looks at?

Support for Household Energy Bills: Motion [Private Members] (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I commend my colleague, Deputy O'Rourke, not only on all the work he has put into this Private Members' motion, but on trying to combat energy poverty and deprivation over the past months. For more than five months now I have been highlighting the need to tax electricity companies for the obscene profits and to put that money towards reducing people's bills. Sinn Féin has been warning...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: IBEC and Science Foundation Ireland: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I listened to some of the discussion in the office before I came down. It is a subject that really interests me. Many of the things that were outlined including career guidance, silo thinking and the architecture that is needed to address this can be done through the National Training Fund. We need to really look at this. I have been looking at it deeply for the last two years. We are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: IBEC and Science Foundation Ireland: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I need to know what IBEC has been getting back from the Minister on this; take all of that as a given. What have each of the Ministers given to IBEC on this?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: IBEC and Science Foundation Ireland: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We are on the PhD researchers and the review that is coming up and what is needed there in order to be able to solve the issues. We talk the talk - and I know there is a difference between the third level institutions and what IBEC and SFI do - but we have to better support PhD researchers in Ireland, both nationally and internationally, if we are going to remain in that space. I am afraid...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: IBEC and Science Foundation Ireland: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is a €307 million gap. We are talking about €1.5 billion here and there is a €307 million gap in further and higher education. Surely it is not beyond the wit of everyone to be able to match those two things up and get on with what we need to get on with.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Examination of EU Fiscal Rules: TASC (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The vote in the Dáil is imminent. As our guests have rightly stated, the cost of servicing the debt is the real burden. I am glad we have an opportunity to talk about that today. Does making the debt service costs the key indicator for corrective action have implications for the monetary policy within the eurozone? Would it give monetary policy an even greater role in fiscal rules,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Examination of EU Fiscal Rules: TASC (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On the debt servicing costs and what we need to do into the future, does Dr. Sweeney anticipate that those costs, as a percentage of Government expenditure, will increase? Has it been modelled?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Examination of EU Fiscal Rules: TASC (3 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Will it be more important?
