Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (29 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What measures does the Taoiseach propose in order to urgently fix the systemic problem at University Hospital Galway, UHG, to fulfil its mandate to operate as a centre of excellence?

He has an aggressive form of lymphoma cancer, he requires urgent and intensive treatment and,...

Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Ar an gcéad dul síos, táim ag iarraidh buíochas a ghabháil leis an bpáirtí Pobal Roimh Bhrabús as an rún seo. Sinn Féin recognises the EU member states' right to provide military support to Ukraine, a nation that has been invaded. I am extremely concerned, however, about the use of the EU budget to subsidise the European arms industry. I...

Rose Conway-Walsh: 12. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if there can be flexibility in the 1 km rule for school transport where a number of children are forced to walk a narrow and dangerous road with no footpath to reach the current collection point; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23899/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This question should refer to the 2.4 km rule and the case I have of children having to walk more than 1 km on a narrow and dangerous road. This is in the Boleyglass and Derryfada areas. I want to raise the issue of pick-up points. Children from a number of different households are all walking down the same narrow, dangerous road to the pick-up point. Can that be moved to accommodate them...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The issue is with regard to the pick-up points and to the common sense that is needed around this to ensure the health and safety of children. I know the Minister would agree with that. The school transport system is plagued by a lack of flexibility in an number of ways. As the Minister knows, the system needs to be reformed. We all know that the scheme is not a door-to-door service but...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (28 May 2024)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This question is about Castlebar Educate Together School. The school operates over three campuses and has 150 pupils. The Minister will be familiar with the school because she visited it in September 2022. She promised them at the time a new school but nothing has been delivered since. She asked them to submit possible locations and sites and they did that immediately but they cannot get...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Part of the problem is the pipeline and how long the pipeline is. Since the possible sites were submitted to the Minister, nothing seems to have happened from the school end. Some of the children are in Marsh House, some are in Cavendish Lane and some are near the hat factory. The Minister may have heard Sarah Calvey, the principal, and Sarah Scott, one of the pupils, on "Morning Ireland"...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister for that. We are very keen to get a timeline on this, as she can see, in order that we can reassure the parents and the teachers as well as the children, who asked me about this at a meeting recently. One parent I spoke to has a child with special needs and she just cannot understand why the sibling cannot be on the same side as her. I ask that this be expedited as...

Local Authority Housing Maintenance and Repair: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Deputy is actually over time, and that is not for the first time either. This is an important issue. The reason it is important is that it is simple to fix, and it could have been fixed. I am sorry the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, is not here because his party has been in government for 13 years. To be at this stage after 13 years is not acceptable. The Minister of State will...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is really important as there is a lot of anxiety around that.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am glad the Minister for Social Protection is beside the Taoiseach. She might be able to answer this question. She recently announced changes to jobseeker-related benefits. I was contacted by a woman from County Mayo who has worked 30 hours a week cleaning a school for eight years. Every summer, she is forced to sign on. She told me she dreads the summer, every year is a struggle and...

Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2024: First Stage (23 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This legislation seeks to make amendments to the Electricity Regulation Act 1999 to give the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities increased powers and to monitor and regulate the electricity market. This is important legislation that will stand up for people and better protect them against higher prices. As my colleague, Sinn Féin's spokesperson on climate and energy, Deputy...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am not disappointed.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Education (23 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister spoke about people not leaving the country. I will give him an example from the small, remote, rural area of Belmullet in which I live and from the Mullet Peninsula in County Mayo. More than 50 young people have left to go to Australia alone. Those are the facts, and he can check them out with his local people. Many of them are nurses, doctors and other clinicians we badly...

Rose Conway-Walsh: 14. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the number of additional places that have been added to nursing and medicine since 2020 for Irish and EU students; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23293/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Education (23 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: How many nursing and medicine places for Irish and EU students are currently in the system? To broaden that out, I ask the Minister a simple question - does he agree with the statement, "We do not train half enough health and social care professionals"?
