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

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am pleased to hear the Minister's reply. My experience leads me to commend An Garda Síochána on its interactions with autistic people, including adults and teenagers Garda members are often on the front line dealing with behavioural issues because of gaps left by the HSE and other organisations that are statutorily required to provide the supports that are needed. In my...

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: ...that population, but there needs to be investment. We also need to invest in ensuring that behaviours relating to autism are understood. I will not say "dealt with" but "understood". If the Garda Síochána can have a better understanding across the board of autism and autistic people, it will be to the benefit of the whole of society. It is wrong that the HSE defers many of...

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

Rose Conway-Walsh: I would argue that it does not reflect the operational nature for a senior garda to be forced to retire at 60 years of age. The equality authority under the remit of the Minister's Department agreed that the State could face compensation claims from senior officers who have been forced to retire at the age of 60 instead of aged 63. Could the Minister clarify if that is the case? There...

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

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...that is happening, I do not know if there is provision to extend the current list, or for the Commissioner to be able to add other retirements on to that list, to deter experienced senior gardaí from retiring. My question is with regard to training in autism for An Garda Síochána.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...as to how it is capturing it, the data that are available around that, how many they have blocked and how many are still in existence. Where the Central Bank has reported patterns of fraud to An Garda Síochána, does the bank follow through to see how many prosecutions have been successful?

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.

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...almost creates an inequality within an inequality where some requests are granted and others are declined. It also makes no sense financially because we obviously have to pay pensions to senior gardaí when they retire. They may as well be working and having an output.

This is another...
