Rose Conway-Walsh: I have another committee going on as well. Would Ms Cotter and Senator Conway mind if I come in?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for appearing again today, and I acknowledge all the work of the Neurological Alliance and for putting this up the agenda. I am not a member of this committee and I thank the Chair for letting me in today. It is a very important issue for us, and for me living in Mayo. I want to speak of a case and ask advice on it. I have listened with interest while I have been in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What can we do immediately? I hear the despair of this woman, and as Ms Rogers said, this is right across the board. This is just one constituent in Mayo. What can be done in the meantime until they get the dysfunction and administrative blockages sorted out? Who is blocking these? That is the first thing to ask the Minister tomorrow morning. Somebody somewhere is preventing this from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is Ms Rogers saying that the neurologist posts will not be created, including in Mayo, until there is an allocation made in the budget for this year? She is. On the basis of what happened when the other commitments were made in 2022 and 2023, am I going to have to go back to this woman and say that, realistically and truthfully, it is going to be 2027 or 2028 before she will be seen?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes. What Professor Flanagan said at our previous meeting was profound. He asked how it is that we cannot translate national strategies into action. We have strategies coming out of our ears. The woman to whom I refer who has been in non-stop pain for six weeks. I know there are people who have been in pain for six months, six years and beyond. The Government, which has been in power...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank our guests for the work they do. Certainly, for Mayo and the west, the organisation has my full support and that of my colleagues. In its alternative budget, Sinn Féin allocated resources for these services. From a public expenditure point of view, the allocations have been made. I could not stand over us being in government and having this situation continue in Mayo, where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Ministers have to follow where the money goes. They cannot just adopt a scattergun approach and say that the money has been allocated. They must follow through with action on the ground. Not only must there be immediate action in the context of appointing the clinicians and nurses that we need, there must be a continuous measurement of outcomes and assessment of whether the funding is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the NAI for doing that. I also thank the Chair for allowing me to comment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, that is right. As Ms Rogers said, when there is a list of 3,000 people, one does not get the services that can be delivered. I commend the people who remain in the services and who try to deliver them in such circumstances. We must acknowledge that. I ask them to hang in there until this matter is resolved. I despair because there is no accountability, or transparency.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am referring to the incompetency.

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: On the way up from Mayo this morning I listened to the sister of Anne Marren from Sligo talk about the horror of 17 May 1974 when her family waited for her at the train station in Sligo, as many do when people are returning from Dublin to rural Ireland. She described what the other families had gone through as well. I welcome the families here to be with us this evening, and also the...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2024: Second Stage (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Absolutely. Mayo for Sam. As the Minister of State knows, I have repeatedly called on the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, and the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, to ensure there is accountability and proper oversight in respect of all care centres that HIQA deems likely to be designated care centres. For-profit organisations that care for vulnerable people in our society...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed) (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank our guests for their statements. One of the statements, perhaps Ms Larkin's, suggested there is an urgency to this issue but there is no urgency if we have been sitting on something for 12 months and nothing has been done. The first point I want to speak about is why people are not applying and there are such low numbers of applicants for the scheme in Mayo. Mr. Kelly has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed) (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Should people who are starting work on their houses today, tomorrow, next week or next month go ahead without testing the foundations? I am asking for a "Yes" or "No" answer. People need guidance and we have all the experts, the people who have dealing with this issue for years, in the room. People in Mayo want to know if they should go ahead without having the foundations tested.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed) (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Nobody can give us that answer. Nobody in the room can guarantee what will happen if people go ahead. We have been with the Central Bank and Insurance Ireland and we cannot have guarantees that those houses will be mortgageable or insurable, going forward, or that they can be signed off and certified without the foundations being done, but the foundations are excluded from this scheme....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Concrete Blocks: Discussion (Resumed) (14 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay. I wish to raise another issue relating to boundary walls while Mr. Kelly and Mr. McGarvey are before the committee. They will know what I am talking about in respect of the estates in Ballina and Castlebar. The boundary walls are not included in the scheme and the local authorities say the boundary walls are nothing to do with them. I know that the repairs to one boundary wall on an...
