Rose Conway Walsh: I welcome Senator Lawless's wife, Anne, other family members and friends to the House. I hope they have a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Edward Crawford, the new US...

Rose Conway Walsh: I wish the ambassador well in his role. We look forward to welcoming him to Mayo, in particular to Achill Island and Ballycroy. He has been very supportive of those communities and done a great deal of work for them in Cleveland. I cannot let it pass, as Senator Horkan will understand, when Fianna Fáil Senators speak about home help hours. Please. Fianna Fáil cut hundreds of...

Seanad: EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement: Statements (3 Jul 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: What has been agreed is a political agreement and so we cannot say that we cannot play politics with it; it is a political agreement. However, it still has to be turned into a legal document. This process will take approximately two years and then it will be brought to the Council of Ministers for a vote. Ireland does not have a veto because voting is done on a qualified majority and not...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: It is astonishing that the Mercosur deal has been signed but no impact assessment has been done. It really shows this Government's contempt and disregard for rural Ireland. It is crazy that we have talked about this deal for months and years. I commend the work of Matt Carthy, MEP. From the beginning, he flagged the dangers of this deal for beef farmers, particular suckler cow farmers in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Jun 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: Following on from what Senator Boyhan stated, I am also of the view that the issue of hate crime is extremely important.

Only 81,071, or one in five, of those carers receive carer's allowance. They save the State the massive sum of €10 billion each year. The Government spends almost two and a half times more on the nursing home fair deal...
