Seanad: Order of Business (12 Apr 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: There continues to be misdiagnosis of patients in emergency departments throughout the country. Let me give a couple of examples. I know a woman who was discharged from hospital, even though she had a fractured back. She had no one to look after her at 11 p.m. and had no money. She had been brought to the hospital by ambulance and was dismissed at 11 p.m., even though her back was...

Rose Conway Walsh: The case has been concluded and the details are available to the public. I thank the Cathaoirleach for his advice.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Apr 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend the Irish Postmasters Union on its protest this morning outside the Taoiseach's offices. I know they did not do that lightly but out of desperation in terms of what is happening to rural post offices. I call on the Government to immediately implement the recommendations of the Kerr report. It is vital that our post offices remain open. They are a vibrant and essential part of...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Apr 2017)

I commend the continuing efforts of all those involved in the recovery of R116 to reunite Paul Ormsby and Ciarán Smith with their families. I hope that will happen before too long. I am proud of my local community...

Seanad: An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. In her statement the Minister refers to these as important and disturbing issues. Are these not illegal activities? Yes, they are disturbing, they are even disgusting, but the bottom line is that illegal activities were carried out by those who were supposed to uphold the law. How many times do citizens of this State complete and submit forms,...

Seanad: An Garda Síochána: Statements (28 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Did Deputies Varadkar or Donohoe, who both served as Ministers in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in 2014, not think the issue was serious enough to report to the Minister for Justice and Equality, as the Minister in charge of policing? Obviously the Garda Commissioner was informed of these discrepancies. I hate even calling them discrepancies because I think it somehow...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I send a message of solidarity to the families of Dara Fitzpatrick, Paul Ormbsby, Mark Duffy and Ciarán Smith to let them know that they are in our thoughts and prayers. I also commend the ongoing rescue effort off the coast in Blacksod Bay which is now entering its tenth day. As each day passes, the stress on the families, as well as members of the Irish Coast Guard, the Naval...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I apologise that I was not here for all the presentations but I have read through them. It is an unusual day with the passing of Martin McGuinness, and I will confine my contribution to five minutes because I am committed to some media interviews after this meeting. If there is a common theme in the presentations it would be the frustration the movement seems to feel about the political...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: If we take a step back we see that the 2012 report is still largely unimplemented. That is why we had the review published last June. Do the witnesses believe the review's recommendations to set up the implementation body might have been an error as they allowed the Government and the Central Bank to stall on any other recommendations until it was set up, which as we know is happening now,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend the work of the credit unions. Coming from a rural community, I know the role they play in tackling social inclusion, addressing poverty and many other issues that affect communities. The credit union movement is crucial in that regard and will be even more crucial going forward. If credit unions are allowed to fulfil their true potential in rural, as well as urban, communities,...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: This morning was like no other morning in that we woke up to the realisation that our friend and comrade, Martin McGuinness, had passed away during the night. I thank the Cathaoirleach and the Leader for making provision for statements at a later date but I do not think Members should be curtailed from making their own personal contributions in regard to the passing of Martin McGuinness. I...

Seanad: JobPath: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Yes, may I have five minutes please?

Seanad: JobPath: Statements (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Chairman. I thank the Minister for coming to the House to discuss this very important issue. I will come straight to the point as I know the Minister is a busy man. I have a number of questions, to which I have been unable to get answers, despite numerous attempts. How much has the JobPath programme cost to date? I want a figure for the cost of the whole tendering process,...

Seanad: Death of Martin McGuinness: Expressions of Sympathy (21 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Leader for allowing this time this evening. I spoke about this earlier but, again, I want to express my heartfelt sympathies to Bernie and Martin's children, Fiachra, Emmet, Fionnuala and Grainne. Our sympathy and solidarity are with them in these difficult days ahead. Many republicans across Ireland and friends of Irish unity worldwide will be mourning the passing of Martin...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón a dhéanamh leis na daoine a fuair bás sa tine i Cluain Dolcáin. For a beautiful mother, Annmarie, her unborn child, her daughter, Paris, and their relatives, Holly and Jordan, a place of refuge turned out to be their place of death. We extend our sincere sympathy to their families and wish the other people involved in the fire a speedy...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: It would be remiss of us not to do our job in this House and bring these facts to the forefront day in and day out until the problems are solved because they affect people's lives. As we have seen in Clondalkin and throughout this country, this issue is what matters to people. People are at risk because of Government policy and we, as legislators, must ensure that such a policy is stopped....

I salute their courage and perseverance in getting to the bottom of this issue. I salute the courage, perseverance and wonderful work of Catherine Corless. The pride that I feel for somebody like Catherine Corless is immeasurable. What...
