Services for those Seeking Protection in Ireland: Statements (30 Jan 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...left without the supports they badly need. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael councillors might have only just woken up to this but resources have been sucked out of towns and villages for years. There are fewer Garda stations, GPs and dentists, and pressure is building on all services. A housing emergency has deepened. The Government has shown that it can take an emergency response to a...

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...has not put anything in place before the holidays. People have a real fear of that. The council offices will close. When the office is closed and people become homeless, they have to go to the Garda station. That is a fact. I checked it yesterday with Mayo County Council.

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...want a government that will work with them, and not against them. Sinn Féin has long called for an increased payment of €20 for ewes and far greater supports for suckler cows. We would have liked to have seen a €300 payment per cow. I am concerned to see only €33 million in additional core funding to cover the new measures. Obviously, we will need to see those...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Banking and Payments Federation Ireland (24 May 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...the first example I gave, an individual contacted a bank and by going through the individual's transactions, it was determined how the fraud was conducted. The individual did not report it to the Garda, because the individual knew he or she was not entitled to get his or her money back. Is that information recorded anywhere by the industry, or is it lost, because it is not reported to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (18 Oct 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...once and for all. We have been talking for years about what needs to be done. My first question relates to the lack of joined-up thinking. There are NEPS, CAMHS, social workers, the HSE, the Garda and student support teams, all of which work in silos, not in a co-ordinated way, which is what needs to happen. Who is going to make all these services work together and work with the...

I appeal again today for that to be happen. Regarding...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (3 Jun 2021)

In my...
