Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (7 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have a question for the Minister specifically on that rent tax credit. Without having a freeze on rents it will obviously have a limited impact. It is about equity for parents of students who are studying abroad, as too many of them are forced to do. This is the case in particular for the likes of veterinary, physiotherapy and other qualifications we desperately need in this country....

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (7 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister has not told me the rationale for it, or commented on the inequity it presents for parents whose children are forced to go abroad to study. It is the same expenditure - even more expenditure in many cases. If they could be facilitated in the State, they would be living in the State. This is also a time when we are trying to encourage North-South and South-North student...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Does the Minister wish to introduce it?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (7 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is no employer PRSI charge for the share based remuneration making share schemes particularly attractive to employers based in Ireland. That is an alternative to cash-based payments of bonuses and awards. The Commission on Taxation and Welfare was of the view that there is an opportunity for greater harmonisation and equity in the treatment of different types of share schemes with...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (7 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On the energy cap, it is either misrepresented or there is a complete misunderstanding of how it was made up because it was absolutely different from the one proposed in Britain. Indeed, it was the one proposed in, I think, 11 other countries across the EU, including Germany, that was found to be absolutely successful. I advise members of the Government to have a look to understand what the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes (26 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I wish to raise the two streams of ACRES - corporation and general. This was generally done correctly but some of them were wrongly allocated. Many of those wrongly allocated were put into the right allocation, which was the corporation applications, but some of them are still outstanding. It is particularly affecting situations where holdings are designated as special areas of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (26 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate that. There was a bit of a mix-up in the questions. We have talked about flooding all morning. I am looking for an update on the Crossmolina flood relief scheme and when it will commence. I am worried because what I have received from the Department states the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery, and Reform will give statutory consent to the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (26 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I must respond. The Minister of State knows that is an updating of the 1945 Act. There is too much messing going on here. Crossmolina has waited since 2015 when it was flooded out. The people of that town are now being told in 2023 that it will be 2027 before there is flood relief.
