Rose Conway-Walsh: I offer my congratulations to Ciarán Stanton, Orlaith and Kathleen for the award they are receiving and for the wonderful work they have done in the field of sepsis as a family since the tragic passing of their son, Rory. It is hugely important. It is appropriate in this committee because Ciarán Stanton and his family have done so much in the US for the peace process and...

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. It is interesting that this time, in the new HEA Bill, that will replace a 50-year-old Act, the HEA is tasked with increasing student mobility across the island.

Regarding the...

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.
