Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously, the fund is losing value all the time. If it was invested, it would be multiplying. It just does not make economic sense that this is not being done.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Professor Hegarty and I will agree to disagree. I passionately believe that higher education and further education is a public good. I have put my cards on the table. That is why I believe that in order to have the type of model we require, we need to invest in core funding in the way it is done very successfully in other countries. If I have time, I will ask-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (22 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I refer to the international partnerships.

Mobility and Transport Supports for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (16 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Regional Group for bringing this important motion before the Dáil. I know that the Minister of State understands this, but there are absolutely no excuses for the lack of transport or the lack of help with transport in rural areas. I come from Belmullet. It is a six-hour round trip to get to a hospital appointment in Galway. We are in the middle of a cost of living crisis...

Mobility and Transport Supports for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (16 Feb 2022)
