Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank InterTradeIreland for being here today. It is very timely that the witnesses are here because of what is happening in the North and the restoration of the Executive. I thank them for all the work they have done in spite of what they have been up against in terms of the North-South ministerial bodies and the lack of meetings and everything else. They have still managed to do an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: There would be an absolute intolerance to any impediment to the development of business. When we consider that businesses have had to come through a global pandemic and everything else on top of it, I cannot see that any business, North or South, would accept impediments being put in its way. My next question is about the possibility of collaboration between the local enterprise offices,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: All-Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This is where we come to human capital. One of the biggest challenges for business is being able to get the labour that is necessary. A significant development here is the Higher Education Authority, HEA, legislation, under which each of the higher education institutions, HEIs, is tasked explicitly with increasing the number of places in the South for students from the North. The same is...

We are familiar with that and have had presentations to the committee around it and what can be done on individual farms and clusters.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute (31 Jan 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is what I am trying to establish. Given some of what is in it, I am surprised it was not taken into consideration in the budget. My biggest concern in relation to capital projects is that the funding is insufficient. In terms of the scope, when Dr. Barrett pitched the problem, was the issue of inflation considered? Was the issue of inflation, and the fact there was not sufficient...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute (31 Jan 2024)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report on National Development Plan: Economic and Social Research Institute (31 Jan 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: So Dr. McQuinn does not know the scale. On balanced regional development, Dr. Barrett stated: "While the spread of projects appears to reflect a reasonable degree of alignment between investment and population targets, the data available are too limited". That is a way of saying that we do not have enough people in the areas represented by Deputy Canney and me. Is it time to look at the...
