Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I note Professor Fitzgerald has written about corporation tax. For the purposes of this meeting, the total managed expenditure is €27.88 billion. That is the sum total of the services with the accounting adjustments. When that is subtracted from the revenue raised in the North which is, as we agreed, €18.5 billion, a subvention figure of between €9 billion and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Each of the pieces in the papers would deserve to be the subject of an entire. I need to comment on life in the west. A vivid picture of Galway has been painted, with which we are delighted but which belies the lack of investment in the western rail corridor, Ireland West Airport in Knock, broadband and several other infrastructure projects. I like that Professor Morgenroth alluded to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (9 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have an interest in what has happened with Arcadia and the provisional liquidators that have been appointed because almost 50 workers in Mayo have been affected. I, too, am asking for the Government to do everything it can to facilitate the saving of those jobs. That is imperative. These workers are all going in over the Christmas period to work really hard, but the uncertainty is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (9 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: While I accept that the Minister of State said he hopes a buyer will be found, if one is not found, the very minimum that needs to be done is that these workers should have an assurance that their collective agreement will be honoured at the end of the season. That would be of some consolation to them. These are really important jobs to Mayo, as the Minister of State said. There is a...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I put the issue of the €250 payment to students and what was allocated in this regard to the Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, the other day. Do the witnesses believe that full-time FET students should have been supported through that in terms of the reimbursement of the €250?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Effects of Covid-19 on Further Education and Training: Discussion (10 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I would appreciate if Mr. Brownlee could do that. It is important when anything is announced that there is fairness in it across the board and that people who should be included in schemes are not excluded. I am concerned about what we are doing to attract new apprentices because we are not meeting the targets. I am also concerned about what might happen next year. I welcome the incentive...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Effects of Covid-19 on Further Education and Training: Discussion (10 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What concerns me as well is that, with regard to the practical subjects that are conducted in higher level education, there does not appear to have been the same shutdown in that area as there was with the craft apprenticeships.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (15 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Covid-19 and Brexit have served to bring to the forefront the need to address the stark regional imbalance and overpopulation of Dublin and our major cities. We must provide the infrastructure necessary to enable people to live and work in rural Ireland. The fact is that the criteria used for cost-benefit analyses on major projects mitigates against investment in regions. I ask the...
