Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Part of the problem is the pipeline and how long the pipeline is. Since the possible sites were submitted to the Minister, nothing seems to have happened from the school end. Some of the children are in Marsh House, some are in Cavendish Lane and some are near the hat factory. The Minister may have heard Sarah Calvey, the principal, and Sarah Scott, one of the pupils, on "Morning Ireland"...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister for that. We are very keen to get a timeline on this, as she can see, in order that we can reassure the parents and the teachers as well as the children, who asked me about this at a meeting recently. One parent I spoke to has a child with special needs and she just cannot understand why the sibling cannot be on the same side as her. I ask that this be expedited as...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This question should refer to the 2.4 km rule and the case I have of children having to walk more than 1 km on a narrow and dangerous road. This is in the Boleyglass and Derryfada areas. I want to raise the issue of pick-up points. Children from a number of different households are all walking down the same narrow, dangerous road to the pick-up point. Can that be moved to accommodate them...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The issue is with regard to the pick-up points and to the common sense that is needed around this to ensure the health and safety of children. I know the Minister would agree with that. The school transport system is plagued by a lack of flexibility in an number of ways. As the Minister knows, the system needs to be reformed. We all know that the scheme is not a door-to-door service but...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (28 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: HERe NI (30 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Ms Nelson for taking the time to appear before us. She is very welcome. I read her statement with interest and the contribution she has to make to the discussion on women in the Constitution is hugely valuable, as well as the key issues that affect LGBTQIA+ groups in particular. I value her contribution and hear what she said in terms of not locking out marginalised LGBTQIA+,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: HERe NI (30 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On the funding framework, what would that look like, because I hear what Ms Nelson is saying and resources are absolutely needed to get the most marginalised voices? That might be practical things, such as childcare, transport and all of those things that are barriers to participation. It takes resources for the animation work that needs to be done in order to build confidence and capacity...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: HERe NI (30 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: From the groups Ms Nelson has spoken to and the work she has done, is there an inner belief that we can create a system and a framework where marginalised voices or people who are currently marginalised can thrive? Is there a belief that this can happen? I want to ask about the work Ms Nelson has done on a North-South basis in terms of the value of collaboration, such as hearing from women...

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is very interesting. This committee will be doing work specifically around health and what an all-island health service might look like, using the experiences from North and South. We might bring Ms Nelson's group back again to look in-depth at issues of health.
