Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their statements and presentations. A lot has been covered at this stage and I will not go over it all. I commend schools that are doing wonderful work. I have an ETB and other schools near me and I can see how the culture of some schools has been changed to make it one of openness, acceptance, tolerance and all of the things that were spoken about last week on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The only point that would concern me and perhaps someone else would address it, is even in what Ms O'Dwyer is talking about in that there so much bureaucracy and so much more to be done in what Mr. Curtis described in his statement as highly stressed environments. Are we adding more stress if we are continuously measuring? We should certainly measure the outcomes but should we be doing more...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Chair might have heard me.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Representatives of the Ballymurphy Families (25 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: If the Chair tells me when Mr. Molloy is able to join us again, we can then work it out that way. I welcome Mr. Teggart, Ms Quinn and Mr. Ó Muirigh. It is significant that the witnesses are here today because there is cross-party support within this committee. In that regard, we must come out of this meeting having made some concrete decisions that will help the Ballymurphy families...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Ireland's Future (1 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I will ask questions quickly and Mr. Murphy might answer them as he goes. I thank Mr. Murphy for his ongoing work and Senator Frances Black as well. I wanted to ask the Ireland's Future representatives to speak to the significance of resolution 117 by the US Senate foreign relations committee. That committee has spoken in one voice on accountability, reconciliation, prosperity and its...

Pyrite and Mica Redress Issues: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I commend all the people who travelled to the protest today, particularly those from my county of Mayo. The unity between Donegal and Mayo over the years has been extraordinary. It has been many years since my colleague, Deputy Mac Lochlainn, and I raised this issue in the Seanad. At that time, nobody would listen. I commend the work of the action committees. These are my neighbours,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to ask the Minister about businesses that have had their credit scores reduced during the Covid-19 pandemic and the potential impact this could have now on their ability to borrow. Given the extremely difficult year and a half we have been through, and the huge impact it had on many businesses as they have seen unprecedented restrictions on their ability to operate, what assurances...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister. I believe that misses the point a bit in terms of how extraordinary the situation is in which businesses found themselves. When we were at the beginning of the pandemic, absolutely suddenly and without warning, revenue streams were cut off from businesses. Yet, as the Minister knows, they had many fixed costs and bills they had to pay. Many businesses could not pay...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate what the Minister said. However, I have been contacted by business owners to say that, when they looked at their credit rating, they found it had been impacted because of their inability to meet bills, particularly at the beginning of the pandemic. This is something of which we need to be aware and on which we need a quick response to ensure every business that can will be able...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 66. To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that businesses are seeing large increases in insurance premiums for attempting to claim business interruption support; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31789/21]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Businesses are seeing large increases in insurance premiums for attempting to claim business interruption support. I have been contacted by a number of business owners who have been quoted huge increases in their insurance premiums even though they have made no claims other than those for business interruption as a result of Covid. Are insurance companies increasing premiums for businesses...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I can give the Minister an example of why the insurance companies are completely ignoring both him and the Minister of State. A business local to Belmullet has seen its insurance premium go from €1,233 in 2020 to in excess of €4,000 in 2021. This is a small business with a small turnover. Those kinds of extortionate increases would be crippling at the best of times but to try...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (15 Jun 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate what the Minister is saying but it is of no use to the business in Belmullet that has seen the price of insurance increase by so much. It is already a scandal that insurance companies are trying to escape paying for business disruption, despite it being exactly the type of protection people in business pay for. We have seen the industry resist passing on any savings to people's...
