Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Revenue Commissioners: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Mr. Cody will understand the behaviour. If we have this 11,700 that have not engaged and many of them will not engage up to tonight, there is a reason they have not engaged, most possibly because they do not have the finances to be able to pay it now, so they are not going to be able to pay 8% or 10% on top of that as well. The danger is that people are going to be pushed out of business.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Revenue Commissioners: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Revenue Commissioners: Discussion (15 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What Mr. Cody is saying is that the Revenue Commissioners can manage them, which is good. Mr. Cody said that people still have a final chance to engage with Revenue to avail of the 0% rate. How long will that flexibility last?

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...

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...
