Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Business Supports (12 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister and let me be helpful to him because what he is saying does not tie up with what I know and, as the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, is here, he will know this also. First, on 21 March, the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, assured me that a grant would be put in place for LPG-reliant businesses. Last month, rural businesses went from being an afterthought to being...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Business Supports (12 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I would still ask the Minister to ask the Department to have a look at the data because sometimes things can be got wrong and I think it has been got wrong in this situation.

Also,...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We turn then to Irish unity. It seems like everyone is preparing for the reunification of our country except the Government. This budget again allocates no money for preparation for reunification. We have seen the success of citizens' assemblies in addressing the big challenges and opportunities this State is faced with. Setting up a citizens' assembly to look at all aspects of Irish...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Everyone has their own part to play in this. No part is too great or too small. No one is too old or too young. People will see that the Government has again failed to play its part in this budget. Yes, some people have been given back some of their own hard-earned money. We see people who have benefited at the cost of people who have not, but too much of people’s money continues...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Taoiseach has changed his position.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: When will the Taoiseach address the chronic shortage of GPs in rural Ireland? We have a situation in Lahardane whereby the whole parish of approximately 1,000 people is left without GP services, with people being told to look to the nearest town. That is not acceptable. In Achill, more than €1 million has been spent on temporary locum cover. Money is being wasted and people are...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (28 Sep 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Disability Federation Ireland expressed concern today around 17 October, when section 39 workers have been forced to take industrial action and the impact this would have on the essential services they provide.
