Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I want to come in on a couple of primary care issues. I agree with Dr. Henry about the alignment between primary care and front-line care. Until we get proper congruence there, we are not going to have an effective system. Indeed, it will be a waste of money because people will present at acute hospitals when they could be looked after in primary care. A lot of it comes down to home help...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will give Ms O'Connor the details, but that is an example of what is coming back to me from people who are being refused. That is apart from those who have been approved as needing home help but cannot access it. I am out canvassing the doors at this time and I met somebody who was born in 1929 and said, "If I could only get another 15 minutes...". She has half an hour for four days a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will do so, if Ms O'Connor does not mind. It is not even about recycling hours; it is about recycling minutes. There was a good home help system in place where people were allocated hours and home help staff were directly employed by the HSE. They were paid properly, paid for their mileage and all of that. Now we have home helps criss-crossing country areas to do minutes here and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: If Ms O'Connor would do so, I would appreciate it. Has a capital allocation been made for Bangor Erris primary care centre?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I would appreciate if Mr. Reid could come back through the committee secretariat. I also want an update on the audiology misdiagnoses in Mayo and Roscommon, the scandal that took place there. Do the witnesses have any update on that? I am aware of parents who are still not able to get medical cards and basic things to support the children who were victims of those misdiagnoses.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will ask for a full update on that as well, across all HSE departments. The Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath has left. I wanted to ask him about the personal plans.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend the O'Neill pipe band from Clontibret, County Monaghan, who made history by performing here earlier today at the invitation of Deputy Ó Caoláin, Chairman of the Oireachtas committee on justice and equality. It was a fantastic event and I commend Ms Lorna Sherry, the pipe major, and Peadar Morgan, the founder of the pipe band. Their performance of the Flying Pickets song...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Practices: Discussion (21 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Ms Muldoon for her opening statement. The major problem is the shortage of large-animal vets in rural and, in particular, peripheral areas. What is the Veterinary Council doing to address that in the immediate, medium and long terms? That a veterinary practice is a legal entity is not an issue for us. Rather, it is about the availability of vets and what the Veterinary Council is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025 (Resumed): Bord Bia (21 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I apologise for having to leave earlier. I had to vote in the Seanad and then I was called somewhere else. There is vertical integration between industry and producers in the pig and poultry sectors. Why is the beef sector so slow to have proper vertical integration that would facilitate a more sustainable situation for farmers?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025 (Resumed): Bord Bia (21 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: We will not have that model here for much longer unless we address the disconnect between the farmers and the producers.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025 (Resumed): Bord Bia (21 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: There are exciting developments in this area and I commend Bord Bia on the work it is doing internationally, especially in China and the rest of Asia. Will the rewards of that work be reaped quickly enough to compensate for the situation in Britain regarding Brexit and the tariffs and all that will follow from that? I refer to the flooding of our shelves with beef from South America.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025 (Resumed): Bord Bia (21 May 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: That is why there needs to be Government intervention to fill the gap. We will not have any family farms left otherwise. A suckler cow premium, even a temporary one, is the only way I can see of filling the gap.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025 (Resumed): Bord Bia (21 May 2019)
