Seanad: North-South Interconnector: Motion (1 Mar 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for coming to the House. I am pleased to see him in good health. Sinn Féin is happy to support the Private Members' motion that has been proposed this afternoon. We have stood with the communities affected by this scheme since the beginning.

It can and will be done underground. We must respect the will of the people in this...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: On my own behalf and that of the Sinn Féin team in the Seanad, I extend my deepest sympathy to the wife and family of the late former Deputy Peter Mathews and acknowledge all of the work he did both inside and outside the Oireachtas. I intend to talk about Grace, but before I do so, I wish to show the Cathaoirleach and Members a photograph. While people in Dublin were concerned last...
