Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I will change the subject for the moment. I commend the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality, which, under the chairmanship of Deputy Ó Caoláin, launched its latest report this morning. Deputy Ferris and I were present at the launch. The committee has done a wonderful job on this. The report is on Article 41.2 of the Constitution and the effort to remove or replace it. The...

Rose Conway Walsh: I welcome the announcement by the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, of a new autism plan for next year. Sinn Féin has been arguing for this for a long time. I do not know the details of the plan but I ask the Deputy Leader to invite the Minister to the House to discuss his intentions with us. It is really important that we all-----

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Dec 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: The Minister for Health has announced a new autism plan for next year. I ask that he be invited to the House so that we can discuss the plan in detail and give him our input and views on it. We must ensure that the plan works for people with autism and their families. A recently published report from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul warns that many households are at risk of fuel poverty...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: I cannot accept what the Minister of State says either. Placing a report before the Houses on restricting banks from carrying losses forward against tangible profits cannot harm the banking system. Banks should pay their fair share of tax. We are only asking for a 25% cap on the profits that can be written off against losses carried forward in any given year with an absolute ten year limit...
