Haulage Costs for SMEs: Statements (20 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I too wish Paschal Donohoe the very best of luck for the future. We managed to disagree agreeably most of the time.

I ask him to consider taking a lead from his former leader Leo Varadkar in terms of the work that he has done as an ambassador for the reunification of our island. There are many issues that are facing us...

Paediatric Spinal Surgery Waiting Lists: Statements (19 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Let me make it clear: we have only reached this point of establishing a statutory inquiry into the failures in paediatric spinal care in Ireland solely due to the brave families and advocates who have forced the Government to act. I acknowledge that the Minister has listened to the families and they are taking it in good faith that she will do what they are asking her to do. It should...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (19 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The EU drinking water regulations. I raise it in the context of the ongoing intolerable situation where 500 households in Ballycroy and Inishbiggle, in County Mayo are left without water for days on end.

Mercosur Trade Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (18 Nov 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We have had months and months of hand-wringing and vague objections to the agreement in its current form. The fact is that the negotiations are finished, the deal is done and the Government must decide whether it is for it or against it. From an enterprise, tourism and employment perspective, I recognise exactly what is at stake here. Irish agriculture underpins tens of thousands of rural...
