Seanad: Criminal Law (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I thank the Minister for his work on the Bill and everyone who has made a contribution to it. It is of great importance and we have waited many years to have it passed. I also take on board the expertise of Senator McDowell. If it would be useful, I would certainly support the Senator talking to the Minister directly to see what slight amendments could be made in the Dáil, but it is...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. John Horan (29 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I could take the Leader's comment in many ways. Gaelic football and camogie serve to bring women from all over the country together for the sport, craic agus ceoil. They have played a significant part in my life and the lives of many people like me. On behalf of the diaspora, I thank Mr. Moran and the GAA for the good they have done for people's physical and mental health all over the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: As it stands, there will be a nurses' strike in less than a week, the second strike in the 100-year history of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO. The Government has stuck to the line that to accept the pay claim would breach the public sector pay agreement. The agreement has been breached already as far as nursing is concerned. When I talk about nursing I am cognisant of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I welcome our guests. I wish to raise a couple of matters. The customs registration numbers issued for the economic operators registration and identification, EORI, where traders have trusted trade status, would appear to be one way of preparing and making it a little easier for these companies. There were 76 applications last year and 21 were granted. That appears to be low given that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: How much investment is Mr. Harrahill talking about? I realise it is hard to give an average, but what if a small or medium-sized business is considering the possibility of doing that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Is that a loophole in the regulation? If the work is not done properly - it can be an expensive transaction for somebody if he or she will lose stock and there are delays in all of that because the paperwork is not done properly - surely we have an obligation to ensure that there is regulation of that. It is something that should be looked at. Would it be the role of Revenue, in its...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know what Mr. Harrahill means. Something we as a committee may consider is identifying to the Minister that he should examine the regulation around that. I would not want to see businesses which are already pressed being exposed to rogue brokers.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is something we will explore further anyway. In terms of the aggregate cost of Brexit from a Revenue perspective, I note there are different amounts of allocations. Do we have the aggregate cost of a softer Brexit and a hard Brexit?
