Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I wish to move to capital expenditure before I finish. The Department of Health has been allocated €24 million less in this year’s budget than what was outlined in the NDP for 2024. This is even including the non-core capital expenditure. We have talked about the high levels of inflation since the NDP review was presented. This means that it does not go anywhere near as far...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is one across the board in the different Departments. Is the Department of Health capable of delivering those projects with far less in real terms and even slightly less in nominal terms? Many projects are promised.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I will tell Mr. Moloney what I am trying to get at. We need honesty in respect of what will and will not be delivered. Projects were announced before the budget over the past number of months and there are expectations. When we decide these figures in the budget, I cannot see how the money is there to be able to deliver many of these projects in terms of capital expenditure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I know what Mr. Moloney is saying. The key question when he says “overspend” is whether we are overspending or underfunding. That is why the OECD figures and all those other figures, how we are driving things and the private and public healthcare divisions are so important to answer the question. Are we underfunding or overspending?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Professor Todd and Dr. McEvoy. This is a exemplary piece of research not only in what it tells us but how it was conducted because I can clearly see it was done from a community development perspective. It is primary research that reaches people who sometimes can be hard to reach; people who are left out of decision-making, people who have a significant amount to offer and people we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That gives me a good picture. In terms of resourcing the groups themselves, what do these groups need to be able to overcome some of the barriers identified by the witnesses in terms of their participation? I am thinking of the practical things they need to be able to come to the table.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In terms of how the witnesses see it or how the people with whom they consulted saw it in terms of feeding into a citizens' assembly, Dr. McEvoy is basically talking about a citizens' assembly plus, plus, plus, namely, all the preparatory work to bring people to the place of a citizens' assembly. Could she describe how all this feeds together? Could she discuss the Scottish referendum and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is there an opportunity within, say, the PEACEPLUS programme to bring together such a structure? This committee makes recommendations to the Government regarding what is needed, what it would look like and what the outcomes of it would be. Can the witnesses help us do that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The institutions, we hope, will be back up and running soon and we all recognise the need, at least in this committee, to have the institutions back up and running as quickly as possible. Is this work that could be done under the communities portfolio regarding grassroots and the feeding-up from there, with collaboration between the Department here and the Department in the North? At the...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (8 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In Gaza, we are not witnessing a war on Hamas, we are witnessing the indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinians, what the Minister of State has rightly described as collective punishment. The EU refusal to condemn Israel's actions is a failure of historic importance. The Taoiseach said yesterday that trade issues are a European competency. This is true, but as a member state we can and,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We were told that the transition to the new pyrite/mica scheme would be seamless. Eight home owners in Mayo are still in phase one and have fully completed remediation works. They were told that they would not be penalised for getting in early but now, four months later, they are still waiting. The shortfalls in the scheme are staggering because of construction inflation. People are being...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Let me tell the Minister of State why the people of County Mayo know that the longer the Government is in office, the worse things will get for them. The total number of eviction notices issued this year was 15,006. In Mayo, 80 people were issued a notice to quit in the past 12 weeks alone, with a total of 274 since the start of the year. We know that a number of those people will end up...
