Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Over the weekend, a leaked European Commission report said that gas prices will remain high and volatile until at least 2023. Shockingly, the leaked draft report makes no mention of the decoupling of electricity prices from gas prices. When the price of gas goes up, households pay more for wind-generated electricity too. This is because the pricing system is essentially an auction where...

Supplementary Budget for Rural Communities and Farmers: Motion [Private Members] (23 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Rural Independent Group for bringing forward this motion because it gives special attention to the cost of living crisis, particularly in rural Ireland and on family farms. We know that the cost of fertiliser has increased by between 160% and 228% in the last year and that is completely unsustainable. While beef prices might be high, the outputs are crazy. Feed costs have gone...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Irish Water (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister of State. When he referred to schemes and local communities, it is important to remember that we are talking about volunteers. We are not talking about the head of Irish Water and others who are paid huge amounts of money. Those involved are volunteers within their communities. They are tired and worn out, and need to resolve this issue. When the Minister of State...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Irish Water (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I hope the Minister of State, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, can address the important issues I raise. We learned today that thousands of people have been drinking water from rural supplies that are contaminated with E. coli, many of which are in my constituency of Mayo and also in Galway. Of the 380 group water schemes inspected, 20 were contaminated. When will the review of the funding and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The mere fact the issue of the carbon tax has been raised so many times, in our Private Members' motion earlier and in another Private Members' motion tomorrow, should show what an important issue it is. The idea of the tax is that it would change behaviours. We told the Minister at the time it would not do so because we did not have alternatives. We have seen the increase in the prices....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: When the Minister lauds the merits of the carbon tax he misses the point that there are no alternatives for people. He misses the point this will be the straw that breaks their backs. The Minister for Finance knows what the equilibrium is. He knows the tipping point. He knows that people cannot bear any more of the hardship he is putting on them right now. The message he is sending them...

Citizens' Assemblies: Motion (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. At the outset I welcome both of these citizens’ assemblies. We need to take stock of the previous assembly that we had on gender equality. It is of concern that despite Covid-19, there were 45 recommendations that crossed a number of areas and I share the concern of my own colleague, Deputy Clarke, that because of the inaction from...
