Can we invest in the green energy...

Home Heating Fuels: Motion [Private Members] (26 Apr 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...taken to the airwaves throughout country, trying to detach themselves from this. It speaks to the absolute chaos in Government.

Air Accident Investigation Unit Final Report into R116 air accident: Statements (17 Nov 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...why issues have been identified and not rectified. It is very plain that they were identified but nobody was listening.
