Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Rural Schemes (16 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have been raising the issue of the impact of domestic turf cutting on agri-climate rural environment scheme, ACRES, eligibility and scoring for farmers with commonage land for weeks. I have spoken to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, about it, as well as writing to him. The Minister of State will know there has been significant uptake of ACRES among...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Rural Schemes (16 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate that. Obviously, it is results based. However, when the Minister of State says that everyone will be eligible, the fact is that if the parcels were marked out of seven and they cannot achieve a score of four or more, they would be eligible but they would not get any payment. I want to let the Minister of State expand on what she says "we are now proposing that non-turbary...

Targeted Investment in the Health Service: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I too thank the Independent Group for tabling this motion and giving us a chance to debate it in the House. I want to concentrate specifically on Mayo University Hospital because what is happening there is really dire. It is getting worse day by day. Some 212 appointments were cancelled in just the first three months of this year. This is an increase of 136 compared with the same period...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The dental treatment services scheme was meant to entitle those who needed free public dental services as needed but this is an empty entitlement if the services simply are not available. They simply are not available in Mayo and other counties. We saw the vote of no confidence in the Minister, passed by the Irish Dental Association last week. The Minister for Health admitted that the...

Access to Autism and Disability Assessments and Supports: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Labour Party for tabling this motion but I really despair. I was in the Seanad for four years and I have been here for two years. Year after year we table motions and talk and talk about things. Like many families in this country, I have a relative and family member who is autistic. He is 23 and I cannot see the changes that are made. I talk daily to parents of autistic...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: People in Mayo, Sligo, and in the west want a straight answer on the N17 Knock to Collooney scheme. The Minister visited last week and alarmed people when he said that there would be no funding available for the scheme for many years even though it had progressed to the planning and development stage. The landowners along the corridor obviously have their land sterilised in this, but people...

Government Commitments on Offshore Renewable Energy: Motion (Resumed) (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The single biggest barrier to developing offshore wind in places such as Mayo is the grid infrastructure. Successive Governments have failed Mayo on the western economic corridor on the issue of renewable energy. There has been much talk about wind potential, yet no meaningful planning or preparation has been done. I heard the Minister refer earlier to our being in a race and I wondered...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Sovereign Wealth Funds: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Hopefully, there will be no more votes. I want to follow up on the regional development aspect of the funding. How are the projects valuated? I know Mr. Ashmore said this is done commercially but what model does he use to evaluate them? I am asking particularly because we are in a situation with the region in transition and the lagging region where we get 60% EU funding for those really...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Sovereign Wealth Funds: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Will Mr. Ashmore give me an example of where he has had the local authority and the ERDF funding and his own funding?
