Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Savings Banks Foundation for International Cooperation, Irish Rural Link and Public Banking Forum of Ireland (12 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I wish to ask about the relationship with the credit unions. Obviously, the trust between customers and credit unions is high and they are looking to expand. With regard to addressing the housing crisis and so on, how much conversation has the Savings Banks Foundation for International Cooperation had with credit unions? How does Mr. Bergmann envisage both models fitting together such that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Savings Banks Foundation for International Cooperation, Irish Rural Link and Public Banking Forum of Ireland (12 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I think those two are key: the post offices and the credit unions. Their reaction and agreement or the way they work with this will be integral to the success of it. They are key actors in all of it. I know other people want to ask questions. I wish to ask about interest rates. If a person from a small or medium-sized business walked into a branch that was open tomorrow, could she be...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I second the motion by Senator Craughwell to the effect that the Minister should come before the House. I wish to express my sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of the three people, Clare O'Neill, Fintan Goss and Michael Pyke, who lost their lives yesterday. I thank the emergency services who attended any of the incidents yesterday for all the great work they did. I...

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (17 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will be very brief. I have not spoken on this Bill before.

Seanad: Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (17 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I understand that others wish to speak but I want to take the opportunity to express the importance of this provision regarding the review. Reviews are not something of which we should be afraid. We should embrace provisions of this nature in all legislation. What point is there in enacting legislation if it does not work practically for the people it exists to serve? I certainly support...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend the Leas-Chathaoirleach on his work as Chair of the Seanad Public Consultation Committee on children's mental health services, as well as Senator Freeman and all the other members of that committee on producing its report. I thank in particular the parents who were courageous enough to come forward to tell the committee about their experiences, which I think has informed the report...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Is that the one page that cost €5 million to put out?

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am talking about the Tories. Their attitude can be summed up as "we do not know and we do not care". However, I am concerned about the remarks the Taoiseach made about the Good Friday Agreement and the provision of a Border poll. The Taoiseach said he would be uncomfortable with a situation in which there was a vote of 50% plus one in favour of Irish unity but it is simply not up to him...

Seanad: Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (18 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I, too, welcome Stephanie and John to the Seanad and offer them my condolences on the passing of their son. I also have a 14 year old son. What they have been through is unimaginable. There are some questions which arise. In normal circumstances, business taken in Private Members' time has cross-party support and so our assumption was that this Bill would receive such support. I commend...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Oct 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am not filled with confidence after listening to the witnesses. I thought there would be much clearer answers. It seems that the whole process is dogged by ambiguity, inconsistency and outright obstruction of the Central Bank's attempts to deal with this. It can hardly fill people with confidence. I think people will really despise the way the term "common culture" is used as a fancy...
