Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is less today than it was in 2019 in terms of spending. It is a kind of contradiction in one sense. The concern is that all this highlights some of the risks associated with legislating for the spending rules.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: No, exactly. What we are trying to get at here, however, is to be fiscally responsible but still have enough flexibility to be able to adapt to and respond to external changes that occur. It is about the balance rather than about tying ourselves into something if we were to legislate for the rule.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Dr. Casey for that. The EU fiscal rules state that the medium-term fiscal plans will commit member states to an agreed net expenditure path for a five-year period. The plan will subsequently be endorsed by the Council of the European Union. It is stated that once endorsed by the European Council, it is generally not possible to deviate from the agreed net expenditure path unless...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes. I think this is crucially important because we are adding an additional national restriction to an economic decision of a democratically-elected government. I think this is extremely serious. IFAC's submission refers to it having an enforcement role in regard to the EU fiscal rules. Will the witnesses expand on this statement? I refer to what IFAC having an additional enforcement...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Go raibh maith agat. I wish to raise the lack of classes for autistic children in County Mayo. I have one case where a parent is looking for a school place for next year and she has been told it is not possible. This parent and other parents will be forced to take cases in the High Court to try to get places for their children. I ask the Taoiseach to please look at what is happening in...

Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Labour Party for bringing this important motion forward this morning. The motion is timely, particularly in a Mayo context, as I attended a protest on this very issue outside Mayo University Hospital, MUH, just last Thursday. I know the Acting Chair is very familiar with it. More than 100 protesters - members of trade unions like Fórsa, SIPTU and the INMO - were there on...

Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, they have two and a half minutes each. When the Minister goes to hospitals, everything is clear and pristine. He is given PowerPoint presentations. He needs to speak to the nurses, staff and healthcare assistants on the front line. He needs to call when the hospitals are not expecting him to call to see exactly what is going on in these situations. It is not fair on staff or the...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (22 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I listened to the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, and he made clear that he is completely and utterly satisfied with himself and the Government in relation to housing. When we break down what he is satisfied with, we see he is completely satisfied with having more than 14,000 people homeless, of whom over 4,000 are children. The Minister is also completely satisfied that 13,500 adults...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Like many others, I am very concerned by the proposals to continue with the ICRIR, to appeal court judgments and to block an inquiry into the killing of Sean Brown against the recommendations of the coroner. The UK Labour Party needs to end the failed approach of the Tories and deliver on its promise to repeal and replace. This Government and any future government must continue with the...
