Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK relations and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I believe the Chairman may allow me to speak first as I am not a permanent member of this committee but am obviously very interested in the discussion this morning. I am a member of the Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and these issues overlap. Indeed, I believe that had we had the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and the subsequent agreements,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK relations and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What I am hearing is that the institutions need to get back up and running as quickly as possible. I take Professor Shirlow's point about the wider analysis that must be done and the Department for the Economy can instruct that work in order that it brings certainty to business and industry, which can ascertain what it will be like in five or ten years' time. By having that certainty,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK relations and the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Perhaps we will have other conversations about how we get that. If there is agreement on the protocol, if we open the door for Horizon again to part of that wider thing, it would be crucially important.

Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Redundancies in the tech sector have been receiving much of the media and political attention in recent days. It is a serious situation for the people involved and, indeed, the wider economy. At the same time, I am concerned that we are facing a crisis in small businesses operating in local economies. Towns and villages in my county of Mayo and elsewhere in the State are in danger of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their submissions. This is a topic we have discussed many times. Anybody who has had a child, sibling or friend who has experienced bullying, particularly sustained bullying over time, will have no doubt about the link between bullying and student mental health problems. Dr. O'Reilly highlighted the fact that there are no specific guidelines for schools and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Does DCU work with the Middletown Centre for Autism in Armagh? I visited the centre some years ago after the Good Friday Agreement and thought some of the work done - obviously in the context of autism - there was very impressive.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is very important that we do so. One speaker referred to 26 years of research. This is the thing about which I despair the most. Dr. O'Reilly described matters in terms of a whole school and whole community approach. I was involved with Trinity College's anti-bullying centre with Dr. Stephen Minton 15 or 16 years ago. I will separate issues relating to autism because I am not familiar...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Dr. Minton's model looked at international best practice and a whole-community approach, such as involvement of GAA and soccer clubs and everybody else within the community. There is an evidence base. This evidence is presented, recommendations are made, they are left at that, someone decides to do another piece of research and two or three decades later, we still do not see the impact....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is exactly the point. We must also ask how we can scale up the models, the pilot programmes that are being used. I am interested in the EMHP model to which Ms Stockham referred and how it might work. From my experience, I think it could work effectively in Ireland. How is the impact of that model going to be measured as we go along? I will give her an opportunity to explain the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Nov 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It does. I will talk to Ms Stockham and Professor Downes another time about the partnership model, but one of the biggest barriers we have is that we lack a skilled workforce. We can say this looks like a good model that could work in a community but fall short because we lack those who can implement it, whether they are counsellors or other clinical practitioners. Ms Stockham said the NHS...
