Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. John Bruton (8 Dec 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I completely agree with Mr. Bruton on reconciliation and the role of education.

Each of the HEIs, in turn, will do their own thing. Does Mr. Bruton agree that would be a positive step in not only the educational opportunities it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. John Bruton (8 Dec 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What Mr. Bruton is saying bears out in terms of the brain drain from the North with people studying in Britain rather than on an all-island basis. The ESRI report by Adele Bergin and Seamus McGuinness, that was published last week as part of the shared island initiative cited the impact the brain drain has on productivity in the North, as well as the disparities there. Regarding the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. John Bruton (8 Dec 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is about the components of this and the preparedness. I refer to Scotland, for instance, in terms of the preparation that has been done there at all levels and what has been produced there. We could even look to what has been done in Wales. I lived in England for a long time and I never thought I would see the increase in Wales looking more towards independence. We are not operating in...

Rose Conway-Walsh: -----either inside or outside politics. There is a responsibility on us all, however, across parties and at all levels of society. What concerns me relates to what I see happening in broader society. I welcome the work that has been done in the Seanad of late and I look forward to that report being published. This committee will do a piece of work as well in the new year in trying to play...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I acknowledge the Minister has moved on some of this and his tone in this regard is the proper way to deal with this. I also acknowledge the co-operation from across the House. Everyone who speaks on this subject is very genuine in wanting to get this right. On the issue of anonymisation, I am a woman and I would want to be informed. I absolutely do not want to be a dot on a scatter...

We have an opportunity and a grave responsibility to get it right. As everyone has said, there is no issue with the Bill itself and I welcome the amendments that have been tabled. Everyone across this House is attempting to do the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Dec 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is the Taoiseach aware that a number of protected disclosures have been submitted to the Western Care Association and the HSE in County Mayo? Will the Taoiseach ask his Ministers to conduct an immediate independent investigation into these serious issues related to the care of the most vulnerable people in our county?
