Rose Conway-Walsh: Have we measured at all what impact the introduction of the digital measures has had ?

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

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is the future. Maybe that will address some of the other problems I was talking about. It has been identified as an issue right across the third level sector in terms of the accessibility of opportunities across the island. I would very much like if that could be looked at as well.

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

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Bertie Ahern (20 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Mr. Ahern for being here. I also wish to acknowledge his contribution to the Good Friday Agreement and as he recognised, the contribution of everybody involved. It is a good opportunity for us today to look at this. One thing struck me earlier this morning in Glencree, when we were talking to the Portuguese President. He made the point that peace is always a process and this is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Bertie Ahern (20 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Why does Mr. Ahern think some people are so threatened by other people having equal rights?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Bertie Ahern (20 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yet we do not see student mobility. In fact, it has decreased or remained the same in the last quarter of a century. That is the missing piece, if you like.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Mr. Bertie Ahern (20 Oct 2022)

Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This legislation aims to improve the accountability - perhaps I should say it will "introduce" accountability - of senior executives in the banking, insurance and wider financial sector and should ultimately protect customers and even the wider economy, which can suffer when the financial sector is left unregulated. This legislation, as has been said, is sorely needed and well overdue. ...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Energy will again be at the top of the agenda when the European Council meets. We have the power to act independently of the EU to decouple the price of gas, implement a windfall tax and cap electricity prices over the winter. Gas prices have been at historically high levels for over a year and the Government failed to protect people last winter. Artificially high electricity prices have...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is an absolute chronic shortage of home care workers. We have a complete crisis in the delivery of home care. When the Taoiseach says that there are 20.4 million hours – a 17% increase – it means nothing to the man in his 90s who has been approved for two home help visits a day but cannot get them. He has been unable to leave hospital since 25 September. Another man in...

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to thank the Social Democrats' Members for tabling this motion. Unfortunately, they should not have had to do this. We are coming back here time and time again. My colleague, Deputy Funchion, tabled a motion some months ago quite similar to this. We keep coming back to the same issue, which is that this legislation is exclusionary. Even at this stage, we are excluding people. We...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I cannot do a lot in six minutes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Issues: Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Deputy Harris. I will go straight for it so in terms of North-South enrolment and the Minister's comments on it. I welcome some of the Minister's comments but am a bit concerned that he talks about what has already been done. I acknowledge the good collaboration between some of the institutes, and the research hubs and the development in that regard. There is still greater...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Issues: Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We have outlined that in the report. I welcome that the Minister is doing that but there needs to be additionality in terms of what is here so maybe a deeper dive into the specifics.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education Issues: Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (19 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I wish to ask the Minister about the veterinary college and the situation with vets in the country. He will know that at the moment we only have University College Dublin, UCD, and from memory there are around 80 places there. We have a huge shortage so we find ourselves with hundreds of students having to go abroad every year to train as vets. Meanwhile, and we talk about workforce...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Technological Universities (18 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Can the Minister tell me if there is any reason students from the technological universities would be told the amount that could be allocated to the student assistance fund will be halved this year? I ask the Minister to look into this matter and give me some information regarding how the distribution of the student assistance fund is undertaken so we can ensure there is fairness in this regard.
