Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: This morning was like no other morning in that we woke up to the realisation that our friend and comrade, Martin McGuinness, had passed away during the night. I thank the Cathaoirleach and the Leader for making provision for statements at a later date but I do not think Members should be curtailed from making their own personal contributions in regard to the passing of Martin McGuinness. I...

Seanad: JobPath: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Yes, may I have five minutes please?

Seanad: JobPath: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Chairman. I thank the Minister for coming to the House to discuss this very important issue. I will come straight to the point as I know the Minister is a busy man. I have a number of questions, to which I have been unable to get answers, despite numerous attempts. How much has the JobPath programme cost to date? I want a figure for the cost of the whole tendering process,...

Seanad: Death of Martin McGuinness: Expressions of Sympathy (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Leader for allowing this time this evening. I spoke about this earlier but, again, I want to express my heartfelt sympathies to Bernie and Martin's children, Fiachra, Emmet, Fionnuala and Grainne. Our sympathy and solidarity are with them in these difficult days ahead. Many republicans across Ireland and friends of Irish unity worldwide will be mourning the passing of Martin...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I apologise that I was not here for all the presentations but I have read through them. It is an unusual day with the passing of Martin McGuinness, and I will confine my contribution to five minutes because I am committed to some media interviews after this meeting. If there is a common theme in the presentations it would be the frustration the movement seems to feel about the political...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: If we take a step back we see that the 2012 report is still largely unimplemented. That is why we had the review published last June. Do the witnesses believe the review's recommendations to set up the implementation body might have been an error as they allowed the Government and the Central Bank to stall on any other recommendations until it was set up, which as we know is happening now,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend the work of the credit unions. Coming from a rural community, I know the role they play in tackling social inclusion, addressing poverty and many other issues that affect communities. The credit union movement is crucial in that regard and will be even more crucial going forward. If credit unions are allowed to fulfil their true potential in rural, as well as urban, communities,...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I send a message of solidarity to the families of Dara Fitzpatrick, Paul Ormbsby, Mark Duffy and Ciarán Smith to let them know that they are in our thoughts and prayers. I also commend the ongoing rescue effort off the coast in Blacksod Bay which is now entering its tenth day. As each day passes, the stress on the families, as well as members of the Irish Coast Guard, the Naval...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I extend my sympathy and that of the Sinn Féin Party to the families of Captain Mark Duffy and Captain Dara Fitzpatrick. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anam dílis. I commend the continuing efforts of all those involved in the recovery of R116 to reunite Paul Ormsby and Ciarán Smith with their families. I hope that will happen before too long. I am proud of my local community...

Seanad: An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. In her statement the Minister refers to these as important and disturbing issues. Are these not illegal activities? Yes, they are disturbing, they are even disgusting, but the bottom line is that illegal activities were carried out by those who were supposed to uphold the law. How many times do citizens of this State complete and submit forms,...

Seanad: An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Did Deputies Varadkar or Donohoe, who both served as Ministers in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in 2014, not think the issue was serious enough to report to the Minister for Justice and Equality, as the Minister in charge of policing? Obviously the Garda Commissioner was informed of these discrepancies. I hate even calling them discrepancies because I think it somehow...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Apr 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend the Irish Postmasters Union on its protest this morning outside the Taoiseach's offices. I know they did not do that lightly but out of desperation in terms of what is happening to rural post offices. I call on the Government to immediately implement the recommendations of the Kerr report. It is vital that our post offices remain open. They are a vibrant and essential part of...
