- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is a very important subject and I thank the Chairman for allowing me in because I am not a member of the committee. I live in Mayo, in a rural part of the west of Ireland, and this topic is hugely important to me. Following on from Deputy Fitzmaurice's contribution, it is extremely worrying and it begs the question as to who is in control of providing public transport services to rural...

Rose Conway Walsh: On NTA's responsibilities around the integration of the different transport systems, does it have specific information on the different changes that have been made to the routes? Have these changes been evaluated to see the extra number of passengers, the impact they have had on the original routes and how many changes have been made?

Rose Conway Walsh: I rise to support the areas of natural constraint, ANC, campaign by the Irish Natura & Hill Farmers Association to address the inequality in farm payments. The ANC scheme, which was opened on 6 May 2015, replaced the disadvantaged areas scheme under the rural development programme. It is funded by the European Regional Development Fund, ERDF, which means it is co-funded 54% from...
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for being here because there are many important issues concerning emigration and the diaspora. Like many others, I was part of that diaspora for many years, so it is personal to us. When one comes from the west of Ireland it is personal to all communities there, given what emigration has done. I thank the Minister of State for presenting his report which I...

Rose Conway Walsh: That is part of my job.
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Senator Davitt is right because Fianna Fáil needs to take a bow. It has definitely contributed to the diaspora, as it has forced hundreds of thousands of young people, husbands and wives to emigrate when it bankrupted the State. I will give it credit for that.
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Hundreds of thousands have been added to the diaspora. Sometimes, when we use the term “diaspora”, it is as if we are referring to an indigenous people. These people have had to leave their families and communities to find work abroad. They have been forced to emigrate. As a mother of two teenage boys, I do not want to have to look at them on Skype a couple of times a year....
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I could talk about this for an hour, but I will ask the Minister of State about one of the issues that my colleague raised. The Government must remove the barriers. We want to see concrete evidence that the habitual residency clause and matters relating to farming, access to motor insurance and so on are being tackled. Will the Minister of State ensure that? Will the Minister of State...
- Seanad: The Diaspora: Statements (23 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Would she consider prioritising some of the Irish emigration projects under her creative fund, in particular the projects in Blacksod Bay and Achill in my community? Could she fund those? I thank the Minister of State for being with us, but we need to see action. We are tired of sentiment. When we see action, we will recognise it. We look forward to having the Minister of State back in...

- Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: On my own behalf and that of the Sinn Féin team in the Seanad, I extend my deepest sympathy to the wife and family of the late former Deputy Peter Mathews and acknowledge all of the work he did both inside and outside the Oireachtas. I intend to talk about Grace, but before I do so, I wish to show the Cathaoirleach and Members a photograph. While people in Dublin were concerned last...
