- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is a very important subject and I thank the Chairman for allowing me in because I am not a member of the committee. I live in Mayo, in a rural part of the west of Ireland, and this topic is hugely important to me. Following on from Deputy Fitzmaurice's contribution, it is extremely worrying and it begs the question as to who is in control of providing public transport services to rural...

Rose Conway Walsh: It is a transport issue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: On NTA's responsibilities around the integration of the different transport systems, does it have specific information on the different changes that have been made to the routes? Have these changes been evaluated to see the extra number of passengers, the impact they have had on the original routes and how many changes have been made?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Situation in Bus Éireann: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Mr. Broderick for his presentation. One of the major focuses of the Financial Services Union is on the culture of banking and how bad it was before the crash. Mr. Broderick had made seven very good suggestions in this regard. Does Mr. Broderick see evidence of any backsliding towards old habits returning? I have heard of one bank in particular making some very worrying moves such...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: The danger is that we backslide to exactly where we were before the crash. One issue Mr. Broderick does not really touch on is the regulation. What is the union's view on the role and fitness of the Central Bank as regulator in 2017? We have talked about that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: With regard to some of the more recent scandals, such as those over tracker mortgages and higher interest rates and even some of the decisions taken on the arrears cases, we see a lot of consumer-led action and then political action. It is striking, however, how few whistleblowers have emerged from within the industry. Does Mr. Broderick believe a potential whistleblower within the bank has...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Coming from a rural area, I share Mr. Broderick's concerns on rural banking, in particular, and the social and economic exclusion owing to the technology within the banks. Mobility and access arise in this regard. Has the union stopped any of the branches from being closed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is particularly the case since people cannot now get through to their local branch. That they cannot make a telephone call to speak to anybody within the branch is of concern, especially to people who are already marginalised and the elderly, but also people who just want to talk about their money. At the end of the day, it is their money and it does not belong to the bank. There is an...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I wish to ask about tracker mortgages, the redress scheme, and the issue of some banks not including their staff members. I understand one bank, in particular, is not including staff members in the redress arrangement for tracker mortgages.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Sector in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: Has the union got assurances on that right across the board?
