Rose Conway-Walsh: But what are they going to do?

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (5 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Fastway workers, subcontractors and franchisees were left high and dry last week. Some of them are outside the gate today and some of them are in the Gallery with Deputies Ruth Coppinger and Paul Murphy. They were told they would not be paid during the 30-day receivership period. It is eight weeks before Christmas. They cannot apply for another job. They cannot get jobseeker's allowance....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Gabhaim buíochas libh ar fad. Fáilte romhaibh go léir. It is a really good opportunity for us to have six young people here before us this morning. I really value their time and also the work they have done on this really important issue. I want to bring it a bit further in terms of making their work count and how they can influence policy. They told us that we could all do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: With that, if a programme was aligned with this to ensure 16-year-olds were informed about voting and how to get their voice heard, does Mrs Phiri think it would make a difference if this was alongside it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I do not think it would be the intention to do it independently but it would - "force" is the wrong word - encourage schools to ensure that, within the curriculums they were teaching, young people were informed and educated about voting processes and so on. I ask Ms. Corry the same question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously, the British Government is going to go ahead with lowering the voting age and then there will be 16-year-olds this side of the Border who will not be entitled to vote. Does Ms Corry think issues may arise then?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: And the same President. Do any of the others want to comment on lowering the voting age?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: You will be nearly 25 when the next presidential election takes place.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Co-operation Ireland's Future Leaders Programme: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank everyone for being here. We have learnt a lot from them today. We will use their contributions to see if we can help or make a difference and ensure they land on the right desk. I encourage our guests to continue doing what they are doing and have their voices heard. It is invaluable for shaping both the present and future. I would like to see the voting age lowered to 16 and a...

Fisheries: Statements (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: For months, we in Sinn Féin and our colleague Deputy Mac Lochlainn have been calling on the Government to allow statements on fisheries to take place in this House. In that context, I welcome the opportunity today to finally debate the future of an industry that is at breaking point. This is an industry that has been failed by successive Governments and abandoned by Brussels, but we...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I raise the issue of home help, particularly in County Mayo. There are 265 homes waiting for home help. These are people who are deemed to need home help to be able to stay in their own home, but they do not have it. Home and Community Care Ireland, HCCI, is asking for two things, which I too advocate. It states that waiting lists are too often treated as a HSE operational issue, and not...

Office of the President: Motion [Private Members] (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: This gruelling presidential campaign will result in an Irish President representing all of the people living on this island and the global family of Irish citizens. She will endeavour to make us all proud, no matter where we live, yet the electorate is confined to Irish citizens living in the Twenty-six Counties. Even that franchise is restricted because many students will not be able to...

Committee on Defence and National Security: Defence Developments at EU Level and Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Apologies have been received from Senator Tom Clonan. The joint committee is meeting with officials from the Department of Defence and the Department of Transport for a briefing on defence developments at EU level and engagement on COM (2025) 555. On behalf of the committee, from the Department of Defence, I welcome Mr. Brían O'Meara, principal officer in the international security...

Committee on Defence and National Security: Defence Developments at EU Level and Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: To clarify, Ireland is a net contributor to EU budgets. Is that completely separate from what we are talking about in terms of military spending?

Committee on Defence and National Security: Defence Developments at EU Level and Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: People want transparency. The idea of today's session is to scrutinise this. Can assurances be given that money that could be spent on the Common Agricultural Policy and other things is not being spent on military operations?

Committee on Defence and National Security: Defence Developments at EU Level and Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yes, but I am just trying to get clarity on this. As regards Ireland, as a net contributor to the EU, that money is not spent on weapons but already spent and categorised like the CAP and so on.

Committee on Defence and National Security: Defence Developments at EU Level and Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Oct 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is important to clarify that because sometimes people can get confused about it. Mr. Fitzgerald mentioned Horizon. Obviously, Israel benefits quite substantially from Horizon. It does research and everything else. Will Israel benefit from this €800 billion in funding we are talking about?

Committee on Defence and National Security: Defence Developments at EU Level and Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Oct 2025)
