Seanad: Consumer Insurance Contracts Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am truly delighted that the Consumer Insurance Contracts Bill 2017 has passed through Seanad Éireann. Again, I commend my Sinn Féin colleague, Deputy Pearse Doherty, on introducing and persisting with this important legislation. I also acknowledge the valuable contribution of Peter Boland from the Alliance for Insurance Reform and that of all the contributors at the committee...

Seanad: Consumer Insurance Contracts Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (11 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am joking, of course. Obviously, it takes a leader to lead this but it also takes co-operation, and it has taken the co-operation of the Minister of State and the other parties who have supported the Bill. It has been described as the most radical shake-up of consumer legislation in centuries in this State. The Alliance for Insurance Reform has said the legislation is a game changer that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues (11 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: My question relates to Valproate. Does the Minister have the Valproate response project report on his desk? Has he been in contact with OACS Ireland and Epilepsy Ireland about this? I asked him before about a public inquiry into this. Is he still open to an independent inquiry or investigation into the prescribing of Valproate, given the teratogenic effects of it were widely known, even...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I concur with what Senator Craughwell said about the film "Lost Lives" which was screened last night. I thank Senator Marshall for bringing it to Leinster House and I thanks all those who attended the screening. I particularly want to acknowledge the fact the Tánaiste, Deputy Coveney, was there for the duration of the film, which sends a message in terms of his interest in shaping...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: We have a range of talent in here, do we not? I want to pass on my condolences to the family of Cormac Ó Braonáin and to the Labour Party. I did not know Cormac. My colleague, Senator Warfield, will talk further about him on the Order of Business, but his tragic death at the age of 19 over the weekend is something that shocked us all. I just want to pass on my sincere...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I wish everybody a very happy Christmas. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and Cathaoirleach, Martin, Bridget and everybody else involved in the running of this House, and indeed the Leader of the House for their work throughout the year. We might have our battles but overall things could be worse. The devil you know.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Like others, I want to send my solidarity to the family of Nadine Lott. As this is an alleged assault, we cannot comment further on the particulars, but we know that 230 women have died due to violence in this country since 1996, with six so far this year. We have asked for a debate in the House to look at the impact of the legislation and how it is being implemented. It is important that...

Seanad: Appropriation Bill 2019: Second and Subsequent Stages (18 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for outlining in detail the purpose of the Appropriation Bill. As he indicated, if the Bill is not passed before the end of the year there would be no authority to spend in 2020. While we may disagree with the Government and its partners in government about how resources are spent and directed, and the policy that underpins the spending, given the reasons for...

Rose Conway Walsh: I do not know, I have seen worse things written on the front of leaflets.

Seanad: Migration of Participating Securities Bill 2019: Second Stage (18 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: As was said, this is a highly technical Bill which seeks to make a contingency provision for the transfer of the settlement of trades in Irish equities and other securities from CREST in London to Euroclear in Belgium as a result of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit. The CSDs allow the transfer of securities and financial instruments to the electronic book entries in a central register...

Seanad: Business of Seanad: Motion (21 Jan 2020)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know. This is where all of the intellectual debates happen. I thank the Cathaoirleach for the manner in which he has presided over this House since I was elected to it in 2016. He has run it in an exemplary way. I also thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator Coghlan. It is not just because my mother is from Kerry that I am saying thanks to him. His kindness and direction, no more than...
