Rose Conway-Walsh: If the Taoiseach could provide that note, as well as details on the timeframe envisaged, it would be appreciated. It took a long time to get terms of reference for the inquiry that would, in some way, go towards uncovering the truth around the valproate scandal. I heard what the Taoiseach said about immigration. The fact is we need a national strategy that is fair, efficient and firm and...

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is the mixed messages as well. There is not communication with the communities and there is not a whole-of-government response. We have county councillors from Government parties out protesting because it has suddenly dawned on them that there are not enough GP services, education services and other things in communities that have been neglected for years. I am not saying this for any...

Rose Conway-Walsh: If I may, I will just ask one more short question on the €1.4 million cost of the Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use. Is that the annual cost or total cost of that citizens' assembly? Is it in line with the costs of citizens' assemblies held in the past? I ask because it is time for a citizens' assembly on Irish unity. As the Taoiseach knows, the Good Friday Agreement provides for a...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Every time I meet the Taoiseach I will ask him. To finish on that, he is right about the conversations that have been happened but in his position, as Taoiseach in charge of the Government, he has a responsibility to provide the framework for it. That is coming back from all the academics who have written papers on this, as well as the economists and everybody else the committee engaged...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me to attend the committee today to discuss this issue. I am not a permanent member of the committee, but I obviously wanted to be here. I am glad to have heard Mr. Thomas Carney and Mr. Alan Ivers give their submissions. As they know, I am very familiar with the scheme and the challenges that have been posed over the last number of years. You do not...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I understand that an application has now been submitted to Irish Water.

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Irish Water has accepted that and the additional funding has to be secured in order to get the project done. Is that Mr. Carney's understanding of it?

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay. At this stage, therefore, we do not know how much the connection fee will be or whether it is consistent with connection fees for other group water schemes in Mayo or the west. We would like to try to clear up how much the connection fee will be, what that connection fee will be made up of and for how long people have to pay for it. It was my understanding that the connection fee has...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is my understanding that the studies would be done prior to the application being made to Irish Water. Is that so? Can we take it that all the necessary studies have been done at this stage? Planning permission has been granted. We are now at a stage where Irish Water has accepted an amount that needs to be submitted for the cost of the overall scheme so that adequate funding is in...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Hopefully we will get clarification today on where we are at in regard to the scheme and what needs to be done. I hope we will also get a defined timeline so people will know exactly when they can expect to have water. I agree that it is an intolerable situation that Kiltimagh, Cleragh or any other area is without water at this stage. The interface between the group water schemes, Irish...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I agree. I am part of group water scheme myself. I am in the Drum-Binghamstown group water scheme. I want to take this opportunity to commend all of the volunteers in the group water schemes in Mayo and throughout the country. I will speak again to Irish Water, as I have spoken to it before, about the write-off of the debts on some of these schemes. We cannot expect volunteers to...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion (25 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: No. I look forward to hearing from Mayo County Council, Irish Water and the Department. We need to focus on what we need to do from here on to make sure they have clear and clean water as quickly as possible.
