Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (Revised) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That would be useful for the committee. The Minister of State probably would not know now, but perhaps will include it in her response to the committee, whether it is still the case that Ireland includes payments to family carers in the healthcare expenditure we report to the OECD. Is that the norm among the OECD countries? Ireland includes the home care services, the group homes in the...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Public Transport (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 24. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if any consideration has been given to bringing the Luas under the direct management of Iarnród Éireann rather than tendering for a new private operator ahead of the expiration of the current contract in November 2025; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will introduce exemptional measures in terms of eligibility for CID for all educators affected by the recently announced changes to special education funding, given many people are being negatively impacted in their careers such as in this case of a person (details supplied) where they are one contract away from CID in their current...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (Revised) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate that. Relating to that, it is my understanding that private healthcare is included in the figures for Ireland where it is not included in the other EU countries' figures. With the CSO being in such a pivotal position within the EU, it would be in the position to look at that properly. Then, once and for all, we would have a right figure for our expenditure on healthcare that...

International Women's Day: Statements (5 Mar 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Today, we are marking International Women's Day and at the forefront of our thoughts are the many women living through conflict. Some 600 million women and girls lived in countries affected by conflict in 2022. That represented a 50% increase since 2017. Affected countries ranged from Congo to Ukraine to Palestine. Women suffer the harshest realities of war. In Palestine alone, Israel...

Supporting People with Disabilities and Carers: Motion [Private Members] (5 Mar 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: At the outset, I thank my colleague, Deputy Pauline Tully, for bringing forward this motion. We certainly need a more humane approach for people with disabilities and carers. We need to work to make a real and lasting difference in people's lives. I know there will be lots of carers and people with disabilities looking in tonight, and as often happens, the picture that is painted is so...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Leas-Cathaoirleach for letting me contribute even though I am not a permanent member of this committee. I have been listening online to the contributions and statements this morning. Last week, I raised the issue of warmer homes. I note the witnesses have a meeting with the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and I wish them well with it. The Minister needs to come up with better...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay. Transport is a huge issue for cancer patients in rural areas. The services have been centralised and there are some very good results, which I acknowledge. However, when people have a 60-mile round trip to get to Galway from, say, Belmullet, the affordability and availability of transport are a real barrier, one which is creating an awful lot of stress for people who could do without...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On the better energy warmer homes scheme, is it just in transport that the Irish Cancer Society can help? Can it help to bridge the gap where somebody was going to apply to the scheme?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The society could not do that. Perhaps the local authorities can because they obviously have a mandate in respect of housing. There is also the matter of the medical card.

Rare Diseases: Statements (6 Mar 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am happy to have the opportunity to speak again about the families that have been impacted by valproate. As the Minister knows, Epilim continued to be prescribed to pregnant women, even though there was growing evidence that children of those mothers were being born with fatal valproate spectrum, FVS, disorder. This was a man-made rare disease. It was a preventable disease. Several...

To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the steps he will take to ensure that local authority employees are treated in the same manner as civil servants in relation to situations where staff who are in an acting position do not get the benefit on the point on the pay scale if promoted to a higher role, only benefiting if they are promoted into the acting role; and...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Mar 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is now more than 900 days since Ireland's plan for the allocation of the EU's recovery fund was signed off. Mr. Chris MacManus, MEP, has been raising this issue continually since then. The EU informs us that €225 billion has been allocated so far. Yet, Ireland is one of only three countries not to have received a disbursement. This is a damning indictment of the Government...
