Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Many struggled through the pandemic dealing with illness, loss, isolation and grief but for others, it was a lifeline. For the first time in years, we saw the numbers of homelessness actually decline. How bad does housing policy have to be that a pandemic improves a person's situation?

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Sinn Féin will deliver affordable, reliable and safe public transport. The reason we will do so is that we understand the necessity of affordable and accessible public transport in addressing social exclusion and climate change and to facilitate economic growth, in particular in the regions. That was nowhere more evident than last Saturday when West On Track organised a conference for...

Finance Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Finance Bill includes an income tax package that is clearly designed to give more to higher income earners. When one strips back the temporary but absolutely necessary interventions in this Finance Bill, the stark reality is laid bare. It abysmally fails to address the growing inequality that is crippling our society. It is not only me and Sinn Féin saying that. Social Justice...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. We hear them time and time again. We cannot hear them often enough but very little happens in terms of implementation. It is frustrating from our point of view so it must be frustrating from the witnesses' point of view when they see so little movement yet they present all the solutions here today. We do not need enormous reports or pilot...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I am very concerned about students who are going directly into the leaving certificate cycle without knowing what their results are, which has an impact in terms of choices. As has been said, we obviously have an ongoing issue in terms of late results, which reduces students' ability to take up opportunities across the island and in Britain....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: One of the biggest problems we have in terms of having all-island student mobility is the equivalence of the results but also not getting the results on time. What efforts have been made in recent years to have the results provided in a more timely manner, or are we always stuck with 15 August or around that time in terms of leaving certificate results?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)
