Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: What I am trying to get at is whether they are the same organisations that were responsible for doing the original audits in the banks before 2008.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: So they would not be the same auditors. The final sentence of the Central Bank's submission states that the further development of European banking union has great potential to deliver a fundamentally more stable banking system over the medium term. Given the short-term external shock that is about to happen with the Italian banking crisis, does Professor Lane believe our banking system is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: I understand that. Is Professor Lane satisfied that the banking system in Ireland is sufficiently stable to withstand an external shock that might come about-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: There are no direct connections between the Italian banks and Irish banks?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Central Bank of Ireland (20 Dec 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: I should hope it is not like the mid-2000s or we are all in trouble.

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I second Senator Gerard P. Craughwell's amendment. I, too, wish everybody a happy and healthy new year and best wishes for 2017. Much has happened since we last met. Of significance to Sinn Féin as a party and the country as a whole is the resignation of our leader in the North, Martin McGuinness. I wish him, Bernie and his family the very best of health and happiness. I hope he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: In the limited time available I would like to ask a few specific questions. On Brexit, if Britain leaves the European Union without a trade deal, will the World Trade Organization tariffs apply? Specifically, will they apply to trade between the North and the South of Ireland?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does Mr. Moscovici envisage the WTO tariffs being applied to trade between the North and the South?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am sure Mr. Moscovici can imagine how significant the issue is to us.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: The Commissioner will have to forgive us as we were in this position at the time of the banking crisis when we had very little sovereignty and little to use in defending ourselves as a country and we do not want the same to happen again. As legislators, we have a responsibility to make sure every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed to ensure the Irish people will be protected from the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: The devil will be in the detail in that regard. Again, Mr. Moscovici will forgive us because as late as today we see in respect of the rate of inflation in Germany what may need to be done in adjusting quantitative easing within the European project. We are looking at how it will impact on us in terms of interest rates and so on. Which of the following options does Mr. Moscovici see as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: There are many more questions than answers. This Parliament has already given its view on the CCCTB to the effect that it goes too far and is not necessary. That is the view of the great majority of Members of this Parliament but Mr. Moscovici is here on a charm offensive to sell the CCCTB. His scouts who were here recently, however, gave the game away to this committee when they said it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: You are doing a good job if you are.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Why was the original proposal presented if it was going to be so detrimental to the Irish economy?

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I want to talk about the tracker mortgage scandal and I commend Deputy Pearse Doherty and other Sinn Féin Deputies on moving a motion calling for a full and urgent redress scheme for the 15,000 victims affected by the theft of their money by these banks. We need an overhaul of white collar crime so that the bankers responsible are held to account. In addition, an unspeakable wrong has...

Seanad: Health Service: Statements (25 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for being here and the Minister, Deputy Simon Harris, for attending earlier. I wish to address a couple of points. The first relates to the rural Ireland document. I presume the Minister and the Minister of State had an input into it. It is disappointing in its vagueness on what is being done to address health care from a rural perspective. I will refer to a...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: On behalf of the Sinn Féin team in the Seanad I condemn what was done to Éamon de Valera's grave. It was wholly unacceptable; there are no other words for it. Senator McDowell spoke about torture and I agree with what he said. We are ever mindful that thousands of young men in the North were interned, and many of them were tortured, and it is well-documented now in terms of the...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Careful now. I know we are talking about your lovers on this side, but just calm down.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will finish with this, a Chathaoirligh, and I thank you. We saw the same behaviour from Fianna Fáil when it failed to support our motion to give voting rights to Irish citizens in the North and the diaspora only a number of weeks ago. I am still looking out for the new politics we were promised.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Vote for it; do not abstain.
