- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: As we go around to canvass in Mayo, transport and public transport are among the biggest issues that come up. In addition to the lack of bus shelters and basic transport infrastructure, what comes up is the lack of interconnectedness between private and public operators and between city buses run by the likes of Bus Éireann, Citylink and GoBus and Iarnród Éireann services....
- Housing for All: Statements (21 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: What the Housing Commission report states is that we do not need more of the same. While the Minister and the Government continue with the back-slapping, I want to explain why their housing plan is not working in Mayo. Last year, less than half of the target for newly built social and affordable housing in Mayo was delivered. That has devastating consequences for the county. A woman with...
- Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Social Democrats for bringing forward this very important motion. As was said, and the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach knows this, for the past number of years we have been highlighting and giving examples of the collapse of the dental care system for medical card holders in Mayo. I am currently dealing with an 80-year-old woman. Two years ago her dentist told her they were no...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: If the Leas-Chathaoirleach does not mind, I will speak because I have a group from Mayo in the complex that I want to meet. I thank the witnesses very much for being here today. It is important that they are here. I thank them for their statements and for sharing their knowledge with us. I have a number of questions. The first relates to the witnesses expanding on their views on the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: That was going to be one of my questions. How do we find that out in respect of cluster munitions?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: The industry obviously warrants far more scrutiny and transparency so that people know exactly what is being funded. What guarantees are in place to ensure that all additional production is either provided to Ukraine or to national stockpiles? What safeguards are in place to ensure that all supported production does not get sold outside the EU? Are there safeguards there?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I have taken up enough time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their statements. They are adding to our knowledge all of the time. We have a job to do in terms of scrutiny of what has happened and having as much transparency for taxpayers as possible. Sinn Féin recognises EU member states’ right to provide military support to a nation that has been invaded and we fully recognise Ukraine's right to defend itself....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: The fact is we are subsidising the European arms industry but we do not know exactly by how much.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: It would be true to say that we are subsidising the European arms industry.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I am trying to make sense of it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Is that on top of the €6.2 million that was paid in 2023 in off-budget funding for the European Peace Facility?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Is it off-budget because of Article 41.2, which excludes expenditure with defence and military implications?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I ask Ms Filipkova to confirm that the reason the so-called peace facility is off-budget is because Article 41.2 of the EU treaty excludes expenditure with defence or military implications. Is that the rationale for it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (22 May 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Ms Filipkova for that clarification. What guarantees are in place that all additional production is either provided to Ukraine or to national stockpiles? What safeguards are in place to ensure that all supported production does not get sold outside the EU?
