Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation (25 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation for its opening statement and for all of the work that it does. It is great to have them here before us today. I want to start with the last part, I suppose, in terms of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill 2022. Mr. Hynes rightly documents the legacy Bill being repugnant to all kinds of international law,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation (25 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is why, as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, the Irish Government has a responsibility to do that. It would not be the financial and stressful burden for the Irish Government that it would be for individuals. It is a way of avoiding it. Does Glencree have a policy to expand its engagement by cascading out through its current network contacts or does it depend on making the...

Government Commitments on Offshore Renewable Energy: Motion (Resumed) (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The single biggest barrier to developing offshore wind in places such as Mayo is the grid infrastructure. Successive Governments have failed Mayo on the western economic corridor on the issue of renewable energy. There has been much talk about wind potential, yet no meaningful planning or preparation has been done. I heard the Minister refer earlier to our being in a race and I wondered...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 May 2023)

The Minister visited last week and alarmed people when he said that there would be no funding available for the scheme for many years even though it had progressed to the planning and development stage. The landowners along the corridor obviously have their land sterilised in this, but people...

Year after year we table motions and talk and talk about things. Like many families in this country, I have a relative and family member who is autistic. He is 23 and I cannot see the changes that are made. I talk daily to parents of autistic...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Sovereign Wealth Funds: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Hopefully, there will be no more votes. I want to follow up on the regional development aspect of the funding. How are the projects valuated? I know Mr. Ashmore said this is done commercially but what model does he use to evaluate them? I am asking particularly because we are in a situation with the region in transition and the lagging region where we get 60% EU funding for those really...
