Seanad: Tracker Mortgages: Statements (22 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister of State for being here. As a member of the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach, I found it very frustrating to try to get positive results for those customers affected by the tracker mortgage scandals. The growth in the number of those affected was particularly annoying. Those banks claim that it took them time to identify all...

Seanad: Tracker Mortgages: Statements (22 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: We all know, of course, that the crux of the problems in the banking system is the closeness that has existed between senior people in that party, including successive leaders, and senior bankers. It was a case of "You scratch my back and I will scratch yours". I am sorry to have to say this, particularly as I have great respect for Senator Horkan and the work he has done on the finance...

Seanad: Tracker Mortgages: Statements (22 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: We have the photographs and everything else to prove it. The playing of golf together, the appointments to boards and all of those things helped to create a culture of absolute corruption within the banking system. Governments are there to protect people, not to protect bankers and the elite. That type of closeness must never again be allowed to develop between senior politicians and...

Seanad: Tracker Mortgages: Statements (22 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: People were robbed of their entitlements in respect of their mortgages and that has caused great suffering. I commend, once again, the work of the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach on this issue and the efforts being made by the Central Bank to address it. The deadlines are being moved all the time but what will happen if the final deadline is not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Sláintecare Report (22 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister. I commend the great work done in bringing to fruition the new primary care centre in Castlebar. It is fantastic. However, it is 17 years late. One of the pilot projects under the original primary care strategy was in County Mayo. However, the projects were never invested in or developed in the way envisaged. Seventeen years later we have the centre in Castlebar...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Sláintecare Report (22 Nov 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I wish to bring the discussion back to my question. The Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, was the Minister for Health in 2014. I asked the Minister whether he authorised the non-compliance matter. He was Minister at the time. Did he authorise the non-collection of the non-compliance data? Did he stop the collection of the non-compliance data?
