Driving Test Waiting Times: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Rural Independent Group for bringing forward this important motion. Imagine being a young person growing up in one of the wealthiest countries in the world and being unable to afford to get a place to live or unable to get a driving licence. Is this really how we are treating young people? Is it any wonder they are emigrating in their droves? I completely acknowledge that the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Engagement: Economic and Social Research Institute (18 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Dr. Doorley and Dr. Tuda for their statements and analysis of the budget. It is useful for us here in trying to weed it all out. In their opening statement, they say that there is a result in the reduction of the at-risk-of-poverty rate for most groups. Are there any other groups besides the elderly that do not see a reduction in the at-risk-of-poverty rate? I want to speak about...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Engagement: Economic and Social Research Institute (18 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: In the context of the budget and disposable income, what people have in their pockets and what they will get for what they spend is the bare bones of it. Dr. Doorley stated that purchasing power in 2024 is now lower, with larger losses for middle-income households. I ask her to expand on that.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Engagement: Economic and Social Research Institute (18 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The top deciles are unchanged, the very bottom decile gains and those in between lose. In light of the amount of money that has been spent, that could be cited as a failure. If prices do not come down next year - we are looking at inflation next year - will we need even bigger one-off payments to protect people from poverty? This obviously causes uncertainty and distress for individuals...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Engagement: Economic and Social Research Institute (18 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Dr. O'Toole may wish to submit an answer to my next question to the committee. This relates to the national development plan, NDP, which is the multi-annual plan. As the multi-annual plan, it is important that we take inflation and economic growth into account. For example, the EU multi-annual financial framework is a seven-year budget. The EU institutions in negotiation always provide...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Could something like this enable the facilitation of a product that would support the families and homeowners who are impacted by pyrite and mica? At the moment, the shortfall in the grant for what is needed for rebuilding and all of that is falling very short. I hear from many families who are under pressure because they cannot get facility from the banks. Would what we are doing here...

Funding for Persons with Disabilities: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (17 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I welcome the service providers to the Gallery this evening and thank them for the great job they do. I thank my colleague, Deputy Tully, for bringing this motion forward. I refer to all the wrongdoing and the wrongs in the budget. This is a really important one and we would not be discussing it this evening if it was not for Deputy Tully. Budget 2024 failed people with disabilities. It...

An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (17 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I ask the Taoiseach to do the direct opposite with regard to the western rail corridor and the line from Claremorris to Collooney. I am a very big advocate of greenways, absolutely 100%, but there are many places we can have greenways. It is not everywhere we can have railways. The infrastructure of a railway both from Athenry to Claremorris and Claremorris to Collooney is absolutely vital...
