The focus was so narrow that to have a conclusion like...

Rose Conway-Walsh: My point, however, is that there is life long learning and education investment. One of the most significant things I found in making comparisons between North and South was the introduction of the DEIS programme here and the difference that made. Were a DEIS programme introduced tomorrow morning, looking at the socioeconomic factors that are impacting education, I do not agree with the...

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is. Sorry for interrupting but let me tell you. When you investment in lifelong learning as well, you do not take any of these in isolation. It is like we have here in the South. We know the importance of it. We know the importance of upskilling, of digitisation and all of that. Otherwise we are wasting our time here in respect of the investment we are making in workers, in...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (2 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously, there is preparation and a run-in to all of this. What have our guests done around the exchange rate because that would be relevant as well? One would assume that the North would give up the British pound and move to the euro. In terms of the figures being put forward, what exchange rate have the Professors assumed?

Rose Conway-Walsh: I think that is it, in terms of the assumptions that have to be made. I am looking forward to the macroeconomic model and I do want to commend the ESRI and IBEC on their initiative. That will tell us a lot and give us a lot to work on. There have been many contributions made to this debate and the better data we have, the more we can accurately take the emotion out of it. We all have...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Sorry. On section 6, obviously it provides for the investment policy of the future investment fund but at present the only specification under the investment strategy is that moneys may be invested inside and outside of the State. The State is suffering from a chronic housing shortage and infrastructure deficits. Our concern relates to the constraining effect that legislated contributions...
