Housing and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: People in Mayo will be really worried when they hear that the Minister of State and the Government are not finished yet, honest to God, because what he read out bears no relation to what I and my staff deal with every day in Mayo. The average price of a home in Mayo has increased by €10,000 since last year. People are desperately trying to save enough money to buy a secure home in a...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This morning, I spoke to nurses about their pre-budget submission. Not only were safe staffing levels and the need for legislation raised as being necessary, but they told me of nurses being forced to live hours away from their places of work, being exhausted going home at night, barely existing while paying enormous rents, never having a hope of owning their own homes, and more and more...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement 2023: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This is a useful discussion. I thank the Ministers for their statements. In his statement, the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, said that the expected global growth of 2.7% is the lowest annual rate since the global financial crisis. If we were to get an external shock, not even a huge one, would we be prepared for it as things stand?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement 2023: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I say it because I am mindful of the time just before the financial crash when I put to an economist our overreliance on the construction sector.

In that sense, is the Government considering investing in physical assets such as land and infrastructure in the State?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement 2023: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am very conscious of time. I have several other questions to ask. I am asking about this because of regional disparities and how we will meet the challenge of keeping down inflation and trying to control it while recognising that the west and north-west region has a real problem. It is in the bottom 7% in the EU in terms of infrastructure. There is an issue with competitiveness. How...
