Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Business Supports (24 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I raise the concerns I have around the closing down of retail businesses, particularly in Mayo. The Minister of State will be very familiar with it. When I walk down American Street in Belmullet or some of the streets in Ballina, Castlebar and other areas, I see that many businesses are shut down. That speaks to me of the disconnect. We are not connecting up. The bureaucracy and red tape...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Enterprise Sector (24 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to talk to the Minister about social enterprises, in particular if he will amend the eligibility criteria to enable them to access the local enterprise office and Enterprise Ireland supports. They are locked out of some of them. The Minister knows the real value of social enterprises. There are hundreds of them right across my own county of Mayo. They generate real and sustainable...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Enterprise Sector (24 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for her response. There needs to be flexibility. Many social enterprises are commercial and others are not, but they add something to communities. There must be a recognition beyond their economic value of their social value as well. They deserve equal treatment, including the same level of support and incentives as businesses and non-profits, recognising...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Enterprise Sector (24 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There needs to be an awareness of what is available and what supports can be accessed by social enterprises. The supports are often beyond the reach of social enterprises. They are so busy with what they are trying to do within their communities that we must make it as easy as possible. I, too, recently met with Social Enterprise Republic of Ireland, SERI, the representative body for...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I know you are about to conclude this, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, but I was struck by Deputy McAuliffe's comment that the Bill keeps people where they are because that is exactly what is coming back from this budget - the sense of injustice. People know that, come next February and March, they will be in the very same position as they were before this. It certainly keeps them in their place,...

Rose Conway-Walsh: The consequences of the delays in scoliosis operations are very real and very cruel. I have given the Taoiseach a letter from one of my constituents who has had his operation delayed. In fact, he has been sent home to make himself comfortable. He is 16 years of age, and his name is Mikey. I am asking the Taoiseach for two things at this stage. I am asking him to get his full file from...

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (6 Nov 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: As the Minister said, this is largely a technical Bill providing for a three-year funding cycle that allows for the commission to fund the pay and pensions of elected Members of the House and their staff and other workings of the Oireachtas. I understand the urgency of that. I take this opportunity to pay tribute and to thank the staff here in the Houses of the Oireachtas. We all know this...
