Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Banking Sector (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Will the Minister outline the assessments that have and will be undertaken with regard to the code of conduct on mortgage arrears, including the suite of alternative repayment arrangements? What are the Minister's plans to give the code full legal effect?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Banking Sector (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister. There are serious problems in how what the Minister's spoke about is being adhered to and how it is being enforced. The issues are well-documented in the Free Legal Advice Centres, FLAC, From Pillar to Post series published in the last number of years. As the Minister said, it is crucial to ensure that the CCMA is fit for purpose, especially in the context of the...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am sharing time with Deputies Tully and Carthy. The farmers will make the assessment as to whether the Minister is listening to them or what he is doing for them. I thank my colleague, Deputy Carthy, for bringing this motion to the floor of the House. The Minister is not listening. People in rural Ireland, including Mayo, are completely perplexed and alarmed by what he is trying to do...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Business Supports (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The crux of matter seems to be the auditing, showing the exact usage and the measurement issue. If we can prove to the Minister of State or Revenue, which I believe we can beyond any doubt whatsoever, the exact usage, the number of units and the exact costs and do absolute comparisons in the same way that is done elsewhere, can this scheme be applied retrospectively to those who have missed...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Business Supports (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Government has made a big mistake by not including LPG in the TBESS, which is designed to help viable businesses to survive in the current spike in energy prices. This has excluded many rural businesses unfairly from the support scheme. The Minister of State must appreciate the fear and anger caused in rural Ireland when businesses were informed by Revenue that the TBESS will only apply...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Go raibh maith agat to Deputy Ó Murchú for conceding. I was not here for the whole duration of the meeting, but I was listening from the office. I thank our guests for the work that they are doing and the important contributions that they made today and those they continue to make.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is awful that people have to sometimes depend on the media to highlight these cases. None of us would want our families exposed to the media and everything else that goes with it. Why should children-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We must make sure that for children who are at home and cannot access education, somebody is responsible or some group of people is accountable because when I put this and many other cases to the Minister, the response will be that millions are being allocated. Yet, the millions do not get to the child who is at home, regressing. We all know how important intervention is. As well as that,...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Hello to everyone in Mayo who is on the screen - to Mr. Gilligan, Mr. Shevlin and Mr. Kelly. I thank the Cathaoirleach for the opportunity to ask these questions. I will first ask a number of short questions. In terms of housing demand, given there are 1,203 on the housing waiting list, are those individuals or families? Are they on HAP and RAS, or are HAP and RAS additional to that?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: However, they are excluded. Any couple with two children above €35,000 in Mayo is excluded. Is that right? That is okay. How many CPOs has Mayo County Council carried out since 2016?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There are 284. I am asking because I think there is great potential there, not only potential in terms of housing people who are on the waiting list but also for the revival of towns and small villages. I think our concentration needs to be there over the next 12 months or so. I also want to ask around local authority houses that are impacted by pyrite, in particular houses that are...
