Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Qualifications Recognition (27 Mar 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This is a real problem, including in a North-South context. We want to encourage student mobility across the island, which is how things are progressing. However, there appears to be a particular issue in regard to the health and social care professionals regulation body, CORU. In 2023, there were media reports that qualified Irish physiotherapists returning to Ireland from Britain, having...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Qualifications Recognition (27 Mar 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In that case, that person was paid less than her counterparts and is documented as an unqualified teacher. My question is: how can she be registered to teach with the Teaching Council yet be branded as an unqualified teacher? It just does not make sense. In October last, the Australian Government announced that the doctors from Britain, Ireland and New Zealand will have their ability to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Qualifications Recognition (27 Mar 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, to fast-track. They brought in a policy to fast-track. Why can we not do the same here?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Qualifications Recognition (27 Mar 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It was for the medical professions - for doctors in particular. It was for doctors from Britain. The doctors from Ireland are being fast-tracked there; why can we not fast-track our own who are living abroad?

Rose Conway-Walsh: 11. To ask the Taoiseach the engagements he has had with the National Emergency Co-ordination Group in the days before, during and after, storm Éowyn. [13818/25]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Emergency Planning (1 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The lack of urgency in the Government's response to the storm was quite bizarre. The storm was on 21 January, and the Taoiseach said there was a meeting on 22 January, but - and maybe he can correct this - warnings of the ferocity of the storm were sent out days in advance, yet there was no effective co-ordinated plan in the aftermath. I will tell the Taoiseach what I think the problem was....

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Security (1 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am also deeply concerned about what happened with Mothers Against Genocide protesting peacefully on Mother's Day. I want to give the Taoiseach the time to answer as to why the escalation of this peaceful protest took place. Very powerful advocates on behalf of women and children are being slaughtered in Palestine.

Support for Householders, Businesses and Farmers Affected by Storm Éowyn: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister will be very familiar with what I am going to say. I acknowledge the work he has done on this scheme so far but we need to tidy it up and sort out the inconsistencies. As my colleague Deputy Kerrane was just saying, some people are getting some while others are getting nothing at all. Tonight, I got a message from somebody whose roof was really damaged and who has been waiting...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Environmental Schemes (2 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I listened carefully to the Minister's answer to my colleague Deputy Kenny. The principal issue of the categorisation of the land parcels still stands. The measure aims to protect peat but the classification of all parcels of land with more than 50% peat soils being subject to GAEC will severely disadvantage farmers across Mayo and the western seaboard. I heard the Minister deny that but...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Environmental Schemes (2 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We want to work with the Minister on this matter, but he must understand that there is a legacy of mistrust. I come from a severely designated area where people now cannot get planning permissions. It is getting worse with planning permission refusals these days because something is an NHA or an SAC. Parts of Mayo, including lands around Carrowteige and the Mullet Peninsula, for example,...
