Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Senator for clarifying that. I am going to move on to Deputy Ó Laoghaire. Because nobody had indicated when Senator Craughwell was speaking, I allowed him to speak for a little longer but I ask Deputy Ó Laoghaire to keep his contribution as short as possible so that we can get Deputy Callaghan in afterwards.

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their time and for the material which they circulated in advance of the meeting. I thank them for their attendance, contributions and statements. I assure them that they will be reflected in the report the committee will produce in the next two weeks. We will break for five minutes.

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: School Transport (8 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 371. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she is aware of proposed changes to the school bus service for a school (details supplied); if she is aware that parents have been informed by Bus Éireann that the drop-off is being changed; the rationale for this change which will mean pupils will have to walk 1.1 kilometres to access transport; if a safety assessment has been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with British Ambassador (8 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am sorry because I had to drop out. My colleague, Senator Murphy, has gone through the issues we raised in the private session. I thank the ambassador for his time here. I am glad he enjoyed it. I also thank him for his interest in all of the Twenty-six Counties. Obviously, my absolute desire is that we will have a British ambassador some time soon who will cover all the Thirty-two...

Commission of Investigation (Handling of Historical Child Sexual Abuse in Day and Boarding Schools) Order 2025: Motion (15 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I welcome the establishment of the commission of investigation, which, unfortunately, is long overdue. The reality is that we will never know how many victims are not alive to see this day. Louise O'Keeffe had to fight tooth and nail to hold the State to account for the abuse she suffered. This Government and its predecessors have known for decades of the horrendous abuse endured by...

Endometriosis Care in Ireland: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister's response is not good enough. It is as plain and simple as that. She should hear the stories of all the women in the Gallery. I am proud of my party colleagues, particularly Senator McCormack and my party president, Deputy McDonald, for bringing this motion before the House. It would never be brought to the House by the Government. Since the beginning of the Sinn...

Dental Treatment Services: Motion [Private Members] (16 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: If there was ever an example of a do-nothing Government, it is when it comes to dental care. I want to read out a letter from somebody in County Mayo: I’m writing to you as a desperate mother from Mayo. For the past five years, my family has been unable to access any dental care through the medical card in our area. No one is accepting new patients, and despite endless phone...

Health (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate that the Bill before us will provide for revisions to corporate governance arrangements within the HSE. I welcome this. If ever an agency needed governance reforms, it was the HSE. There have been too many incidents of governance failures at this agency. I refer to the CervicalCheck scandal, which revealed 162 women were not informed about missed abnormalities in their smear...

Health (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The INMO is telling untruths, then. It is telling untruths, as it says there are not safe staffing levels. You can hold up whatever documents you like, Minister.

Health (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (16 Jul 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister can hold up whatever document she likes, but I am telling her that there are not enough staff in Mayo University Hospital in the emergency department section to provide safe service there. I am also telling the Minister that it is a deterrent for so many people who want to, and probably need to, go to hospital. They want to do everything to stay out of hospital. Those nurses...

Health (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (16 Jul 2025)
