Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Ba mhaith liom cúpla focal a rá mar gheall ar Mhaigh Eo. Gabh mo leithscéal, ach labhróidh mé as Béarla. The Minister will be very familiar with what I am talking about. Recently, the Committee on the Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Irish-speaking Community published a report that recommended that additional all-Irish post-primary schools be established...

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Apr 2025)

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Why is Mayo so under-represented in this Bill? It makes no sense. There is only one seat for Mayo on the board, which is a 50% reduction on what we had following the 2005 election. There is no representation at all for the west Mayo Gaeltacht of Oileán Acla, which is too small to have an impact on the Mayo constituency. All of this is being done to facilitate more ministerial...

Tariffs: Statements (9 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Since President Trump began his second term of office the world as we know it has become a more volatile place. His early statements about turning Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East through a policy of ethnic cleansing shows just what absurd thought processes we are dealing with. Combative statements dominate American foreign policy. That is now finding its way into economic policy....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (8 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In February, I submitted a parliamentary question regarding resources for students with mild to moderate learning difficulties accessing level 2 learning programmes, L2LPs, and level 1 learning programmes, L1LPs, in mainstream classes. I received a reply but the real issue was deflected. The key question here is whether the Department of Education will allocate hours to schools in order...

Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Bill 2025: Second Stage (8 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: While I welcome the fact that at last the Government is acting upon the recommendations of the Commission on Pensions, which it established, and is introducing legislation to prohibit employers setting a mandatory retirement age for workers, I am calling on the Government to reduce the age at which citizens can access their State pension to 65 years old. People have not forgotten that this...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 Apr 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In the context of global economic turmoil, investment in infrastructure is very important. In 2021, the national development plan set a target of 5% of GNI* to be invested in capital projects for the period 2021 to 2030. We know this target has not been met in any of the years so far. In 2021, the national development plan was underfunded by almost €1 billion. In 2022, it was...
