Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2020
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have concerns around the take up of that, as I know the Minister of State and the Minister have. It is almost a defeatist attitude if we are saying that we will save that much on it at this stage. I will move on to the eligibility of all full-time third level students. When the Minister of State uses the term "full-time third-level education", he is not including any of the students...

Rose Conway-Walsh: How was it decided who would and would not get that?

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2020
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It causes me concern. Many students from lower income families take up PLC courses and other types of courses. It concerns me that they might be excluded from this. Will the Minister of State re-examine this?

Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I appreciate some do but some do not. It should be looked at. Take someone in Louth who is studying in Belfast or in Donegal studying in Derry, will they get it?

Rose Conway-Walsh: It does not matter where they study, then. Is that also the case for someone studying abroad, say in The Netherlands?

Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Again, that is an anomaly when we are trying to encourage an all-island approach to education. Where someone is a final-year student and is in the category of having everything paid, how will that be done?

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2020
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is there a time line by which that will be done, and the cash refunds issued?

Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Department will intervene if someone is not getting paid, albeit that it is giving the colleges autonomy on this.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Absolutely. I am forever indebted.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I welcome this session today. I sincerely thank the witnesses for their valuable contributions to the all-Ireland economic discussion that must form the essential part of reshaping our island. The papers they have written facilitate and inform a discussion that is currently being held in households and businesses throughout the country and beyond. I propose that all of the people who have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I note Professor Fitzgerald has written about corporation tax. For the purposes of this meeting, the total managed expenditure is €27.88 billion. That is the sum total of the services with the accounting adjustments. When that is subtracted from the revenue raised in the North which is, as we agreed, €18.5 billion, a subvention figure of between €9 billion and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Over what time span would that be in terms of social welfare? Obviously, it is not something that would happen immediately but over a period.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I have no more time left and I do not want to take up the rest of the time available. I thank Professor FitzGerald.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Each of the pieces in the papers would deserve to be the subject of an entire. I need to comment on life in the west. A vivid picture of Galway has been painted, with which we are delighted but which belies the lack of investment in the western rail corridor, Ireland West Airport in Knock, broadband and several other infrastructure projects. I like that Professor Morgenroth alluded to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Personal Public Service Numbers (3 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I take on board what the Minister says. I look forward to an improvement in it. Perhaps the Minister could liaise on the transfer over of cars. People are trying to get their cars transferred over but cannot do so because they do not have PPS numbers. A bit of common sense and flexibility around it would go a long way. I commend staff who have done Trojan work on this, the PUP and other...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Personal Public Service Numbers (3 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: 11. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of the waiting lists for PPS numbers; if her attention has been drawn to the negative impact this has had on workers and businesses; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40008/20]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Personal Public Service Numbers (3 Dec 2020)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister and take on board what she said about the PPS numbers. The reason that I submitted this question was that a constituent has had construction staff sitting idle for months now because they could not do the Safe Pass test. Will the Minister liaise directly with SOLAS to ensure that at least those people who are waiting for PPS numbers can do the Safe Pass test? The woman...

To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if representation by trade unions and organisations that represent the elderly, women and farming organisations will be included on the Pensions Commission; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
