Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously, Mr. Byrne was assured even when it happened and when the mortgages were transferred over without his consent, but we were also assured in this committee by everybody across the board that mortgages which were sold off would be no worse off in respect of being managed by vulture funds. We were told that over and over again. At what point did Mr. Byrne realise that things were very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds (Resumed): Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation (21 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I believe as a committee we need to write to the Central Bank to ask the question whether it has that information on where people's deeds are held where the mortgages have been sold to vulture funds. This is very important. I also ask Mr. Hall to elaborate on his comment earlier that the Central Bank: “is fast asleep ... and... horrifically conflicted.”

Rose Conway-Walsh: Both Ms Irwin and Mr. Byrne are in a situation where they have strived not to go into arrears and to make all their payments. On the aggregate figures, can Mr. Hall see any repossessions coming down the line as people are stretched to the pin of their collar trying to pay the extra amounts being demanded of them each month?

To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update on the feasibility and options report to assess potential measure for the N5-R320 junction, Swinford bypass, County Mayo, as directed by a coroner three years ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (15 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I support Deputy Cathal Berry in seeking recognition for Private Billy Kedian. I hope that it can be progressed. The Minister knows what needs to be done. I am glad the Minister is taking questions today because my question is about Uisce Éireann and group water schemes. I need the Minister to act.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (15 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Within Uisce Éireann. I am concerned about the lack of accountability of Uisce Éireann and the gap between the volunteers who are forced to take responsibility for providing water for their neighbours even though some of them have resigned, as I told Uisce Éireann they would do. Meanwhile, there is millions for Uisce Éireann. Will the Minister please sort it out?

Our Rural Future Policy: Statements (14 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What I will say will be not be a surprise to the Minister. I thank her for her statement. Many of the things I will outline cut across into the responsibility of other Departments. Like the Minister, I served on a county council, Mayo County Council. The Minister served on her county council. I always used to make the point that we need to get our core stuff right. We need to get the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Taxation of Assets and Wealth: Discussion with Oxfam (14 Jun 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I really do appreciate that. I must apologise. I got caught in the Chamber and I just could not get out. This is a subject I am extremely interested in. I will look back on the transcript and I look forward to the exchanges there. If the witnesses have answered any of these questions already, please ignore them. It was said the wealth tax has become more feasible due to technical and...
