Vote 5 - Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2023) Rose Conway-Walsh: -----maybe not so much light. I wish to ask about the shared island unit. I commend the work that has been done, particularly in the area of research with the ESRI. What further research is planned for this year under that heading?

Vote 5 - Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2023) Rose Conway-Walsh: Whatever she has would be very useful. One of the big challenges is that there is not congruence between the data in the South and the North. There are many gaps there, making it hard to do accurate comparisons. Staying on that, I know the citizens' assemblies come under the Office of the Taoiseach. I suppose it points towards the need for a citizens' assembly on a united Ireland or the...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is Mr. Molloy online?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentation and all the work they do. I have their other paper here as well. The piece of work we are doing in this committee is looking at the constitutional future. We are not looking at patching one area onto another or whatever; we are looking at something new. What has come across really strongly from some of the contributors we have had to date is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: That goes without saying and I think it will be done. Has NERI as an organisation, as well as other organisations operating in the North, such as Queen's University, Ulster University and others, collectively requested that the data be done in a way that things can be measured? This is part of the problem. If we cannot measure what is going on, we are never going to end up with the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: It is getting better and, as we have the macroeconomic model, that will continue. However, it is almost off the table in that it has been examined to the extent where this €10 billion figure is, in my opinion, crazy and lazy.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: We can dispute the two but if we had the information we would have the figure. People should have access to their own information but I do not want to get too bogged down in that. I need Mr. Mac Flynn to talk a bit more about NERI's own economic model so I have it straight in my head.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I can sit in if the Cathaoirleach wants. I want to say one sentence that is really important.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: What Dr. McDonnell is saying is really important. Will he send a note on his new model and on those four pillars to the committee for the report it is doing, because that is exactly the way forward? At that, I will be quiet.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I am in the Chair so I get to ask a couple of bonus questions, if that is okay with whoever is left on the line. When will the economic model and framework on which the NERI is working be complete?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I know a lot of work goes into these things. Does the NERI have concerns, because of changes related to Brexit, about the diminution of workers' rights in the North and the impact that might have? We need a congruence of workers' rights across the island, like an all-island charter of rights that would incorporate those things.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I did not realise Ms Begley wanted to contribute. I did not see her on the screen. I think she is gone now. I apologise. What is the effective tax rate in the North as it is?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (23 Nov 2023)
