Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Harnessing Ireland's Ocean Wealth: Marine Co-ordination Group (22 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I would appreciate it if Ms Graham could do so, please. I know what she is saying around ownership and so on. We have been following that for some years but the challenge is that we would not have one company with a monopoly over large stretches of our seashores and seafronts. We want to avoid that and we all have a responsibility to do that so that we do not give the benefits of that to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is an interesting question because I was outside the gates of Leinster House with the carers from all over this State who have gathered to tell us how they are being neglected by this State. I spoke to them individually and was there to represent the carers, particularly those in Mayo who could not be here today because they do not have respite and there is nobody else to care for their...

Rose Conway Walsh: It is not playing politics.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is wrong that carers have to come from all over the State to gather outside Leinster House a week after the budget to tell us how they are being neglected. There are men and women there but most of the carers in this State are women and that is one reason they have been left behind. They are absolutely taken for granted. We know that. The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I commend Social Justice Ireland on the critique and analysis it carried out in respect of the budget. The subhead of the analysis is very telling: "Budget betrays the vulnerable as many left further behind". That about sums up the budget. I want to talk about two such examples of people being left behind. The first is timely in the sense that Mental Health Day is on 10 October. The...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I ask the Leader to ask the Minister of State, Deputy English, to come to the House to give us an update on the pyrite and mica situation. As he knows, thousands of homes, particularly in Mayo and Donegal, are still waiting to be put right. There is a lot of confusion around what the criteria are and what is going to happen. There is no point in announcing money if it does not go where it...

Seanad: Budget 2020: Statements (8 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Have Senator Horkan's colleagues walked away from their responsibilities this afternoon? There are no Fianna Fáil Members here other than him, which makes me wonder why people bother to elect them. Senator Horkan talks about my party taking seats in Westminster but why do his colleagues not use their seats in this House?

Seanad: Budget 2020: Statements (8 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: I know the Acting Chairman is the spokesperson, and I will deal shortly with the content of his contribution, but it is ironic that we had the hype about Sinn Féin members not taking their seats in Westminster when we see all the empty seats in this Chamber. Those Members might be dying to get to Westminster. The Acting Chairman might be able to answer that question.

Seanad: Budget 2020: Statements (8 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Perhaps these seats are not good enough for them. They might need to be in Westminster. I am not sure what kind of an impact they think they would make-----

Seanad: Budget 2020: Statements (8 Oct 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: No.
