Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Part of the problem is the pipeline and how long the pipeline is. Since the possible sites were submitted to the Minister, nothing seems to have happened from the school end. Some of the children are in Marsh House, some are in Cavendish Lane and some are near the hat factory. The Minister may have heard Sarah Calvey, the principal, and Sarah Scott, one of the pupils, on "Morning Ireland"...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

One parent I spoke to has a child with special needs and she just cannot understand why the sibling cannot be on the same side as her. I ask that this be expedited as...

Local Authority Housing Maintenance and Repair: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Deputy is actually over time, and that is not for the first time either. This is an important issue. The reason it is important is that it is simple to fix, and it could have been fixed. I am sorry the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, is not here because his party has been in government for 13 years. To be at this stage after 13 years is not acceptable. The Minister of State will...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am glad the Minister for Social Protection is beside the Taoiseach. She might be able to answer this question. She recently announced changes to jobseeker-related benefits.

She told me she dreads the summer, every year is a struggle and...

Those are the facts, and he can check them out with his local people. Many of them are nurses, doctors and other clinicians we badly...

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.
