Rose Conway-Walsh: I disagree. It is something that seriously needs to be looked at. With regard to the additional funding for Revenue to deliver customs infrastructure in Rosslare, what was the original estimated cost of the capital project and the original scheduled time for delivery? What is the current estimated cost of the project and the estimated time of delivery?

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, that is it exactly. It is to be able to monitor it. Revenue is open to customer queries online up to 1.30 p.m. I was not aware until yesterday that had changed and it only takes calls up to lunchtime.

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is very important for all of these Departments, including Revenue which has a good track record, to be open to being contacted by people to be able to answer queries. Not everybody has broadband or Internet or IT literacy to be able to contact them. Additional resources-----

Services for those Seeking Protection in Ireland: Statements (30 Jan 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. I agree with the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment that Ireland has done an extraordinary job. The people have done an extraordinary job over recent months and years. Immigration can mean different things. It can mean people from Great Britain living and working here under the common travel area arrangements or people...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Last Friday, the International Court of Justice made a historic ruling. It ordered Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.

Israel must also prevent its troops from committing genocide, prevent incitement to commit genocide, allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza and...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute (31 Jan 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is what I am trying to establish. Given some of what is in it, I am surprised it was not taken into consideration in the budget. My biggest concern in relation to capital projects is that the funding is insufficient. In terms of the scope, when Dr. Barrett pitched the problem, was the issue of inflation considered? Was the issue of inflation, and the fact there was not sufficient...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute (31 Jan 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Dr. McQuinn might also address another matter for me. Where do we stand when it comes to meeting the current targets for reducing both inflation and the price of houses?
