Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Education (23 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister provided figures but does he agree with the statement, "We do not train half enough health and social care professionals"? That is what the Minister for Health has been saying for the past couple of years. He lays the blame squarely at the feet of Fine Gael for not providing him with the workforce he needs. That is the issue - things are bounced between Fianna Fáil and...

Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Social Democrats for bringing forward this very important motion. As was said, and the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach knows this, for the past number of years we have been highlighting and giving examples of the collapse of the dental care system for medical card holders in Mayo. I am currently dealing with an 80-year-old woman. Two years ago her dentist told her they were no...

Housing for All: Statements (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What the Housing Commission report states is that we do not need more of the same. While the Minister and the Government continue with the back-slapping, I want to explain why their housing plan is not working in Mayo. Last year, less than half of the target for newly built social and affordable housing in Mayo was delivered. That has devastating consequences for the county. A woman with...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: As we go around to canvass in Mayo, transport and public transport are among the biggest issues that come up. In addition to the lack of bus shelters and basic transport infrastructure, what comes up is the lack of interconnectedness between private and public operators and between city buses run by the likes of Bus Éireann, Citylink and GoBus and Iarnród Éireann services....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 24. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee that deals with transport will next meet. [22999/24]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I commend all the communities across Ireland that are seeking to make their town autism-friendly towns. In particular, Ballina is getting together next Thursday to do that. I ask the Taoiseach for his commitment around resourcing the actions that they agree within these towns because it is an important development. It has also happened in Castlebar and many other towns.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Social Justice Ireland today published a damning analysis on the permanent effects of the last couple of budgets on inequality. It reinforces what Sinn Féin has been saying for months now, if not years. The longer this Government is in power, the worse things get. We have the evidence that things are getting worse for those who are crippled by the cost-of-living crisis. The gap...

Delivering Universal Healthcare: Statements (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: If one lives in Mayo or many parts of the west, the struggle to access neurology services is monumental. The regional inequality and inequity are stark. This is the account from just one young woman who is trying to ease her suffering. She is a 40-year-old mother of three young children living in rural Mayo and suffering with debilitating nerve pain in her face, a condition called...

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On the way up from Mayo this morning I listened to the sister of Anne Marren from Sligo talk about the horror of 17 May 1974 when her family waited for her at the train station in Sligo, as many do when people are returning from Dublin to rural Ireland. She described what the other families had gone through as well. I welcome the families here to be with us this evening, and also the...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2024: Second Stage (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Absolutely. Mayo for Sam. As the Minister of State knows, I have repeatedly called on the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, and the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, to ensure there is accountability and proper oversight in respect of all care centres that HIQA deems likely to be designated care centres. For-profit organisations that care for vulnerable people in our society...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I was really glad to hear one of the Government TDs at the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach earlier say a number of times that we should declare a housing emergency. Even the Government's own TDs are saying it. Its councillors and candidates on the ground recognise it and they are saying the same thing. The Minister needs to listen to them, but they...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: When the Taoiseach took office a month ago, a mother wrote to him asking for help with her six-year-old son. He has severe autism. The family has been refused a domiciliary care allowance. Payment is not supposed to be based on the type of disability but on the level of physical or mental impairment if the child's needs are substantially more than those of other children but this is not...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 16. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on children, education and disability will meet next. [19530/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (2 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Acting Chair for letting me contribute on this very important question. In County Mayo we see lots of delays in projects that were promised, especially schools and hospitals. We have the likes of Davitt College and Ballinrobe school, on which I hope there will be announcements soon. In addition, there are outstanding projects like the Educate Together school in Castlebar and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (2 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Will the Minister provide detail on the non-core spending allocation of approximately €4.5 billion for each year from 2025 to 2027 that is outlined in the stability programme update? Will he make particular reference to the use of the contingency reserve?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Capital Expenditure Programme (2 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate that response. I am trying to get greater detail and confirmation of whether the contingency reserve is now within core rather than non-core expenditure. Is the contingency reserve intended to be a long-term feature in our budgets?
