Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for appearing again today, and I acknowledge all the work of the Neurological Alliance and for putting this up the agenda. I am not a member of this committee and I thank the Chair for letting me in today. It is a very important issue for us, and for me living in Mayo. I want to speak of a case and ask advice on it. I have listened with interest while I have been in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What can we do immediately? I hear the despair of this woman, and as Ms Rogers said, this is right across the board. This is just one constituent in Mayo. What can be done in the meantime until they get the dysfunction and administrative blockages sorted out? Who is blocking these? That is the first thing to ask the Minister tomorrow morning. Somebody somewhere is preventing this from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is Ms Rogers saying that the neurologist posts will not be created, including in Mayo, until there is an allocation made in the budget for this year? She is. On the basis of what happened when the other commitments were made in 2022 and 2023, am I going to have to go back to this woman and say that, realistically and truthfully, it is going to be 2027 or 2028 before she will be seen?

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes. What Professor Flanagan said at our previous meeting was profound. He asked how it is that we cannot translate national strategies into action. We have strategies coming out of our ears. The woman to whom I refer who has been in non-stop pain for six weeks. I know there are people who have been in pain for six months, six years and beyond. The Government, which has been in power...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank our guests for the work they do. Certainly, for Mayo and the west, the organisation has my full support and that of my colleagues. In its alternative budget, Sinn Féin allocated resources for these services. From a public expenditure point of view, the allocations have been made. I could not stand over us being in government and having this situation continue in Mayo, where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Ministers have to follow where the money goes. They cannot just adopt a scattergun approach and say that the money has been allocated. They must follow through with action on the ground. Not only must there be immediate action in the context of appointing the clinicians and nurses that we need, there must be a continuous measurement of outcomes and assessment of whether the funding is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, that is right. As Ms Rogers said, when there is a list of 3,000 people, one does not get the services that can be delivered. I commend the people who remain in the services and who try to deliver them in such circumstances. We must acknowledge that. I ask them to hang in there until this matter is resolved. I despair because there is no accountability, or transparency.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Social Justice Ireland today published a damning analysis on the permanent effects of the last couple of budgets on inequality. It reinforces what Sinn Féin has been saying for months now, if not years. The longer this Government is in power, the worse things get. We have the evidence that things are getting worse for those who are crippled by the cost-of-living crisis. The gap...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I commend all the communities across Ireland that are seeking to make their town autism-friendly towns. In particular, Ballina is getting together next Thursday to do that. I ask the Taoiseach for his commitment around resourcing the actions that they agree within these towns because it is an important development. It has also happened in Castlebar and many other towns.
