Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Mr. Makhlouf. I appreciate that. I will leave my questions at that. I just want to say that the facilitation of the Israeli bonds is absolutely atrocious. I am glad that Mr. Makhlouf, at the request of Deputy Doherty, is going to investigate what can be done there. There must be consideration of what needs to be done by the Central Bank, what we need to do as legislators, or...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate that. Will Mr. Makhlouf raise our concerns with the ECB on it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (9 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We are certainly doing that but the door is shut again, as it is in so many cases. We are told it is not possible to do it. We need to look at all the possibilities and the role we all have in this. At the end of the day, it is the Central Bank that is obviously facilitating the sale of these bonds.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I raise the issue of section 39 health and community workers. As the Minister knows, an agreement was reached in October last year between the Department of Health, the Department of children, and the INMO, SIPTU and Fórsa trade unions on behalf of these workers. The agreement included an 8% increase while negotiations were to continue regarding future pay movement. I understand that...

Spending of Public Funds by the Government: Motion [Private Members] (8 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I agree with Deputy Andrews. What is more, there is no Minister who will come forward and say he or she is accountable for this and nobody to take responsibility for the wasteful decisions that are being made around it. We will get to the bottom of that on another day. This Government's wasteful spending of other people's money must be brought to an end. The plan to spend €9...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: As a party we know the challenges that farmers, fishermen and rural dwellers face. Not only can agriculture deliver on food and decarbonisation objectives, we firmly believe the industry has a role to play in decarbonising other sectors of business and industry, delivering on biodiversity, nature restoration and energy security. Farmers in ACRES are in limbo. An announcement has been...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is why we have to create a country to which they can come back. Agriculture operates on an island-wide basis and our commission on the family farm would include representatives and stake holders from all 32 counties. Under the Government, we have seen the imbalance in regional development laid bare. It is true that the eastern seaboard, Dublin and other cities must be supported but...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This impacts on patients and healthcare staff throughout the State. The people in Mayo want me to ask how many more projects are handled in the same manner. How much more of our money is wasted? How much more is this Government hiding from us? How many times is commercial sensitivity used to cover up costly mismanagement of projects and the granting of open-ended, undefined contracts?...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Again, there was no accountability. Everyone scattered. We have to have a public inquiry, which the taxpayer will pay for, but we have to find out the truth. We know what happened. We know how they have been failed by this and previous Governments. All of the measures introduced by the Government today are, by necessity, dealing with the fiscal space in the here and now but I do not...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Today is the day this Government will try to buy the Irish citizens with their own money. Its desperation to cling onto power permeates this budget. Ministers queue up to clap themselves in the back for divvying out the spoils to the electorate to persuade them to turn a blind eye to how they have been failed, how their families have been failed and how their communities have been failed....

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Projects (1 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 78. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he is aware that Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has instructed all local authorities to withhold planned road improvement tenders unless they receive explicit approval from TII; if this is a recent change in policy; if so, the rationale for same; the number of planned projects announced by the Government that have yet to be...
