Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (8 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have already discussed the recently published ESRI report and some of the important findings therein. However, the report ignored the elephant in the room, namely, inflation. The national development plan is at risk if the Government does not get serious about the impact of inflation. If the intention of the report was to inform decisions on the NDP ceilings, why did the Minister not...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (8 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We know of some projects that have been delayed, but my main concern is that we do not know the extent of those. Last September, Ministers warned that there would be a €14 billion deficit. The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council then stated that it would be €19 billion and that €2.7 billion extra would be needed each year to meet the existing capital plans. I know that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (8 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is the concern. We talked about data earlier. We also discussed regional development and what needs to be done there. The data that is available from the EU Regional Competitiveness Index shows that in the context of infrastructure, the west is in the bottom 7%. That speaks for itself. One of the projects I am very concerned about is that relating to Ballinrobe Community School....

Reform of the Television Licence Fee Model: Motion [Private Members] (13 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The drop-off in people paying the television licence fee did not just happen by accident. It is a form of protest. Regardless of whether one agrees with them, people are having their say. It is a protest against the insider culture and unaccountability of the top brass in RTÉ. Even after the story broke and the public anger was clear, those at the top of RTÉ still did not get...

Business Costs for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises: Motion [Private Members] (14 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Regional Group for bringing forward this motion. It is important. It is timely that we are speaking on it this morning. I, like all other TDs and my colleagues, live in a community in which businesses are struggling. I cannot remember a time when so many businesses were concerned about escalating costs which they just cannot manage. Many are family-owned businesses that...

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (14 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is great. I could talk all day about this subject, so I am fine. My colleagues are not here. The first thing I want to do is congratulate Michelle O'Neill and acknowledge how historic it was to have my own colleague become a republican First Minister.

Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I really have to note how much Fine Gael cares about fishing when not one of its Members can even be here to speak on this really important subject, particularly the Fine Gael TDs from coastal communities. I want to talk about the inshore sector, which provides more than 50% of employment in Ireland in the seafood industry. Everyone is aware of the unfair division of quotas and...
