Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement: Discussion (22 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have real concerns about resources not being available for the two commissions for the work that needs to be done and to maintain independence.

I do not know if the witnesses could give us some more information as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Transport Issues: Engagement with Minister for Education (21 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What is unfortunate about this is it could have been avoided with proper budgeting and planning. For the Minister to put the blame on Bus Éireann and to state that she looked at all the options and the company did not raise any issue is deflecting responsibility. It is the Minister's responsibility. It was referred to earlier that the Minister inherited the criteria. We must be...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Prices (20 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to make the Minister aware of a problem with the SEAI and businesses applying for grants. Businesses that have applied for grants are not getting a response quickly enough.

Rose Conway-Walsh: What does the Minister of State say to people in Mayo who, when they key in their postcode, find that they will get broadband in 2025 and 2026? What does he say to the people who key in their postcode and are excluded, because they are deemed to have a service, when they cannot do the very basics in downloading and uploading? Is he concerned that we have not future-proofed this plan and...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Since last year, I have been raising the need to end the crazy situation whereby sky-high gas prices set the price for all electricity, and the need to decouple electricity prices from gas prices. Each time the Minister and the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste have dismissed it out of hand. It is unacceptable for the Minister to continually hide behind the EU. Energy policy is a shared...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Housing Policy (20 Sep 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Housing for All mentions student accommodation only once. The student accommodation emergency was brought into focus last week when the French embassy warned its students against coming to Ireland.
