Education and the School Building Programme: Motion [Private Members] (29 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Labour Party for tabling this timely motion, which touches on a number of important issues, one of which is the lack of capacity in school transport. Across the State, students and families that had relied on school transport for years were suddenly displaced last year. The Government had no plan to increase capacity meaningfully and left children on the side of the road. We...

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Cabinet Committees (29 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Today, the Taoiseach and Government have one last chance to stop the backslapping and answer the question asked by people in Mayo and every other county who are being forced to move out of their homes this weekend and in the coming weeks, namely where do they go. Mayo is the county of Michael Davitt. How disgraceful is it that almost 100 years after his death, evictions would feature in the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (29 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I received a communication from a mother who stated: My son is autistic. He is neurodiverse. He thinks differently. He learns differently. He is lonely, afraid, confused and traumatised and that is because he is held in an adult mental health unit. Does the Taoiseach know how many young people are put into adult mental health units throughout the country with no care plans,...

Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I listened to the Minister acutely and nobody would think that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have been in power for the last 100 years. I remind him that Sinn Féin has never been in government in the South of this island. To start blaming Sinn Féin and saying it is Sinn Féin's fault where the Government is going, or not going, with housing is ridiculous, which most people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank both witnesses for their statements. We have discussed this subject many times. What is our current approach to PhD support? What are the negative consequences of having a PhD support system that is not fit for purpose? SFI called for urgency with regard to the PhD review. Will the witnesses expand on the urgent need to complete the review and what type of a framework they would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The cost-of-living and accommodation crises obviously feed into that. I commend the organisation that protested outside the Oireachtas last week. It has a very co-ordinated campaign and it would benefit all of us if it succeeded. The review should be done as quickly as possible and the proper consultations done so we have an opportunity to put things right as quickly as we can. I have a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: One of the greatest barriers to part-time and lifelong learning is cost. We need to look at that. If people pay tens of thousands for a master’s, what does that say about us? How many people are being excluded? Reference was made to the digital strategy. That creates all kinds of opportunities for us, including opportunities to widen the gap in terms of inequality of access. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We have identified those blocks. We need to see where they are and get rid of them. Do the witnesses think associate membership of CERN would be okay or is full membership needed? Will they comment on east-west and North-South relations? Irish citizens in the North have to identify as British to access CERN membership. We urgently need to put the question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for being here today and for their statements. My first question is for IBEC. When we look at the EU, we see that we are in the class of a strong innovator, but we are not innovation leaders like countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands and Sweden. In one sense the European scorecard belies what is happening underneath and is something we need to be...
