Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Of course. I just want to present the argument. I do not believe people have fully thought through what exactly this will mean. I want to get back to the question of special status for the North in the European Union. Does Mr. Keegan's organisation advocate special status for the North within the European Union? How much work is it doing to promote that? It would seem to be the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I disagree with Mr. Keegan's organisation because part of the problem is that while we are looking after the whole club and what it wants for us, it is really a matter of what we want as a nation, country and island. Much more robust negotiations, not only by the Government but also by organisations, including that of Mr. Keegan, are needed to try to influence the policy at this stage. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Have we looked at the value of special status for the North to companies island-wide? Have we quantified what the value would be were there to be special status for the North within the EU?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: There is no time to go into it today, but there will be huge problems around country of origin and accumulation of products.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is something we probably need a separate session on. I also have major concerns around the smaller businesses, in particular those in rural Ireland where we do not have broadband or a very ad hocbroadband system. There must be real discussions between Revenue and the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment as to how these companies can make online declarations and...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Primary Care Services Provision (30 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy McGrath, for his presence in the House today. I wish to discuss the lack of physiotherapy services in County Mayo, which have reached a crisis point. Patients throughout County Mayo are not getting the physiotherapy they need. This includes children, post-operative patients, people with disabilities and arthritis and elderly people. If a person can...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Primary Care Services Provision (30 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. However, there is an absolute disconnect between what he has said and the reality on the ground. It bears no resemblance to what is being experienced by those waiting for and working in physiotherapy. It is very simple. The panels contain fully qualified, ready, willing and able physiotherapists. What is stopping them from being appointed?...

Seanad: Order of Business (30 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I refer to the same subject. I ask that the Minister be requested to come to the House as soon as possible to discuss the report of the special rapporteur on child protection. The horrific findings of this report should not be a surprise because children across the State continue to be neglected and abused in their own homes. The perpetrators of these crimes and this awfulness in many...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Today, the chief executive of AIB has acknowledged the role played by taxpayers in the bailout of his bank. The sheer scale of the taxpayer bailout of €20 billion should warrant a more transparent approach to any potential sale of this State-owned bank. Any plan to sell part of this public asset should be clear in its reasoning. The plan to sell up to 25% of the shares has been...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 May 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: -----and he has continued doing that. We are in a very different position now, in that we have the time to sort out a good deal with regard to AIB for the people. We are not huddled together in a room. Sinn Féin did not support the bank guarantee when it came back to the Dáil in October of that year, I want to make that clear. We have an opportunity now and I appeal to Deputy...
