Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and its Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank all the witnesses for their contributions. Much has been said at this stage. In 2012, I was involved in developing a whole-community and whole-school approach to bullying with the Trinity anti-bullying centre, with Stephen Minton and Leanne Bart. It was part of a community development project that obviously involved the whole community. I cannot see any other way that we can...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (4 May 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (4 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This is a very interesting discussion to have. We need to recognise that there are real opportunities, in particular with the new Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (4 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I believe Professor FitzGerald is right. We have not mentioned Covid at all. Covid has put it up to us in terms of genomics across the island and how we develop and make progress on genomics, again using an all-island approach. It is astounding that we have spent so much on a national children's hospital and we do not have a dedicated genomics department or facility within it. I am not...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I also want to thank my colleague, Deputy Ó Broin, for all of the work he does on housing.
