- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (3 Jun 2021)
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: ...almost creates an inequality within an inequality where some requests are granted and others are declined.

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.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (3 Jun 2021)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister for taking this question. My concern is that we are in breach of the European equality Acts and directives on retirement ages in the EU by forcing senior members of the Garda to retire at the age of 60.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and its Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (4 May 2021)
Rose Conway-Walsh: ...project that obviously involved the whole community. I cannot see any other way that we can tackle bullying meaningfully except through a whole-community approach. Within that, there was the Garda, the GAA, the soccer clubs, clinicians, teachers, students and everybody else involved in the approach. It worked and it is one of the evidence-based models that was produced. Now we have a...
