Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (30 Nov 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We need to discuss the backlog of apprenticeships. This is a question for IBEC or ISME. There are concerns about the backlog of apprenticeships given the shortage craft apprenticeships, qualified electricians, plumbers and carpenters, which feeds into the need for such workers for housing building. Regarding science, how can we ensure those who go on to third level to do science can take...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (30 Nov 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Ms Costello for that response. If one of our guests could speak specifically about autistic young people that would be great and I will finish on that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (30 Nov 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Business of Joint Committee
Engagement with WAVE Trauma Centre (9 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I will come in for a short time. The committee will hear the bell in the background, so I apologise because I will have to go to the Chamber. When Columba McVeigh was killed in 1975, I was a young child growing up in Mayo. I heard the pain and distress when we went to the WAVE centre. I thank Ms Peake for hosting us at the WAVE centre. That was a valuable discussion. We heard at first...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Registration Office: Discussion (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have a specific question concerning the financial reporting obligations of community employment schemes and the sponsoring organisations in that context. It is my understanding that small community employment schemes, given the size and the nature of these organisations, were not heretofore required to provide full and audited accounts. My information has come from a community employment...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Did Dr. McFadden get all of my question?

Rose Conway-Walsh: Dr. McFadden got the thrust of my message anyway.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Registration Office: Discussion (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I will indeed, and I thank Dr. McFadden. I am asking about this development because it seems to be contradictory in this context. The community employment schemes have enough to try to deal with now. I appreciate Dr. McFadden's offer. That is my only question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Companies Registration Office: Discussion (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is perfect. I thank Dr. McFadden very much.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Issues: Engagement with Insurance Companies (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In that case, I will be brief. I want to ask the three companies about their policies in regard to providing mortgage protection for people who have suffered from an eating disorder. They may know that a woman recently contacted me in regard to mortgage protection life insurance. Despite having a healthy weight for the last five years and no longer receiving any medical treatment, she was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Issues: Engagement with Insurance Companies (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: None of the insurance companies provides the cover. Do the witnesses have any comment to make on the matter in terms of the insurance industry?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Issues: Engagement with Insurance Companies (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The fact that cover is either not available or extortionate costs are being charge.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Insurance Issues: Engagement with Insurance Companies (15 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: As such, none of them-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Discussion (16 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I will be as succinct as possible. I want to take this opportunity to address the situation around mortgage life protection insurance for people with eating disorders, in particular cases where people are availing of counselling on a monthly basis, which is being used as a reason to refuse them insurance. Is Ms Murdock aware of the difficulty faced by people with eating disorders in getting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Discussion (16 Dec 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am not dealing with just one case. We have to consider this in the context of the significant premiums charged. It is not a case of refusing someone on a particular basis. I am concerned because it may act as a deterrent for people accessing the help and support they need for fear of not being able to at some stage in their life own their own home. I ask the witnesses to acknowledge...
