Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition (31 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Does the Santander ruling make Ms Vestager more confident that the ECJ will come down on the side of the Apple ruling? I want to ask the Commissioner a minor question about regional state aid when she has answered the question on the Santander ruling.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition (31 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: On the matter of regional state aid, and continuing from what my colleague Senator Paddy Burke said, is there any impediment to any country using fiscal policy to address deficits in regional areas? Can a separate taxation be used for a region to address a regional imbalance through state aid?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: European Commissioner for Competition (31 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will write to the Commissioner separately on it because I appreciate that her time is limited today.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: On behalf of the Sinn Féin team in the Seanad I condemn what was done to Éamon de Valera's grave. It was wholly unacceptable; there are no other words for it. Senator McDowell spoke about torture and I agree with what he said. We are ever mindful that thousands of young men in the North were interned, and many of them were tortured, and it is well-documented now in terms of the...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Careful now. I know we are talking about your lovers on this side, but just calm down.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will finish with this, a Chathaoirligh, and I thank you. We saw the same behaviour from Fianna Fáil when it failed to support our motion to give voting rights to Irish citizens in the North and the diaspora only a number of weeks ago. I am still looking out for the new politics we were promised.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Vote for it; do not abstain.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know what he is trying to do.

Seanad: Northern Ireland: Statements (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for being with us this afternoon to discuss this important subject. I want to begin by paying tribute to my colleague, Mr. Martin McGuinness. I wish him and his wife, Bernie, well and hope he enjoys a speedy recovery. I want to thank him for the wonderful work he has done for peace on this island. I also want to thank Senators for their acknowledgement of his work. I...

Seanad: Northern Ireland: Statements (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: This matter has to be sorted out and we took the only decision available to us. I am heartened by the many good wishes I have received for Martin McGuinness, both in this House and from all political persuasions, with regard to his speedy recovery. I want to address the distaste and disdain expressed for hard-line nationalism, which does a real disservice to the good work that has been done...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. From my own experience, I can concur with almost everything that has been said here today. The behaviour of the banks has caused devastation right across the banking system and the country, in particular in rural Ireland. I am particularly interested in Ms Lavin's evidence put forward on the engineering defaults. It absolutely reflects my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I am conscious of my time.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: The revelations this morning that the consumer protection and whistleblower lines to the Central Bank are not even in operation were interesting. That speaks volumes about how seriously it takes its consumer protection role. Does Mr. Beades believe the law needs to be changed? Alternatively, does he believe the existing powers are sufficient to address what we need to address?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: Did Mr. Beades say the Central Bank needs more powers or is it not using the powers it has?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business and Banking: Discussion. (26 Jan 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: It would say otherwise. We asked its representatives specifically whether it needed more powers but they did not seem to believe so.
