Seanad: Business of Seanad: Motion (21 Jan 2020)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...all of the team, including the ushers and everybody involved with the Seanad, for the contributions they make and for the way they do their business. In his absence, I thank the Leader, Senator Buttimer, and Ms Orla Murray for the fair manner in which they run things. We have had many a spat but we have not fallen out so far. I thank my team. I have had the pleasure of leading the Sinn...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters relating to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Rose Conway Walsh: This will be a brief question, as Senator Jerry Buttimer is on his feet in the Seanad, and I have to attend the House to debate the Finance Bill. My question is about badly performing contractors. Earlier this year, the construction firm, Western Building Systems, was awarded a contract to deliver the 60-bed modular extension at University Hospital Limerick but the same construction firm...

Rose Conway Walsh: I will have a row with Senator Buttimer any time.

Seanad: Housing: Statements (31 Jan 2018)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...build houses and yet we cannot get them built. There is a blockage there which needs to be addressed. There is no doubt that we are in a housing crisis, and it really alarms me to hear Senator Buttimer say that it depends on perspective. I stay in hotels when I am in Dublin and see the children who are living in them. It makes me wonder what perspective they are going to have growing...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2017)

Rose Conway Walsh: I also congratulate Senator Buttimer and his partner, Conchobhar. I wish them every happiness and good luck with their wedding plans. It was a joy to hear that good news on the radio this morning. I commend the people of Waterford, many of whom I met outside this afternoon. I express my condolences to the family of Thomas Power. I have absolute solidarity with them because those of us in...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...bus seat adds insult to injury and will be no comfort to the affected families. In our alternative budget, Sinn Féin provided for a €7 million investment in school transport. For the benefit of Senator Buttimer, who appears to have a continuous difficulty in grasping basic economics, this could be paid for twice over by phasing the withdrawal of the private school annual...

Rose Conway Walsh: Senator Buttimer is wrong.

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Oct 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...allow for spending on capital investment to be averaged out over four years and, therefore, only use a quarter of the fiscal space in the first year. I cannot make this matter any simpler for Senator Buttimer. I would have thought that Fine Gael was sufficiently chided and embarrassed by its last foray into the fiscal space at the beginning of the election campaign to attempt another, so...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Oct 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...will not be unfettered access to the British market. It has called for the upcoming budget to be Brexit-proofed. Indigenous firms have been responsible for up to 75% of new jobs in this recovery - if Senator Buttimer stopped talking he might learn a thing or two - but these are all at risk if there is no coherent strategy or the political will to match it. The budget next week will be a...

Rose Conway Walsh: Senator Buttimer should read the document.

Seanad: Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (15 Jul 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: ...and they brought in metering as they had intended, a little like what Fine Gael is doing here and what Fianna Fáil did originally. I want to refer to the Fianna Fáil position. Certainly Senator Buttimer is right to say that it was a Fianna Fáil baby originally. Maybe Fianna Fáil people were there at the conception. Fianna Fáil representatives are right to say...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (8 Jun 2016)

Rose Conway Walsh: ....However, on behalf of the Sinn Féin team of seven Senators I have the privilege to lead, I wish the Cathaoirleach well. He can be assured of our support and co-operation. I also thank Senator Buttimer for his kind words. I want to be associated with those words spoken about his courageousness and the good work he has done. On this special centenary year, the electorate presented...
