Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Cathaoirleach for the opportunity to speak. I welcome my Mayo colleagues and also Mr. Kenny. I do not believe we are here to second guess the mandate that has been given to the councillors on Mayo County Council, particularly with regard to the western rail corridor. It means an awful lot to the people of County Mayo and has done for many years now. I hear what the witnesses...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes. That is really good. How much would it take in the interim to preserve the rail track as it is and keep it in good shape until such time as that money would be front-loaded to do that?

Committee on Public Petitions: Campaign for a Walking and Cycling Greenway on the Closed Railway from Sligo to Athenry: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Particularly if we had the political will on both sides of the island and we had the connectivity North and South to bring the railway line up along the whole of the western seaboard.

Long-term strategic planning of our public finances across the island is at the core of our vision for a new and united Ireland. There is widespread agreement that windfall corporation tax should not be spent on current expenditure. The unreliable nature of corporation tax means that is the prudent thing to...
