- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)
Seán Crowe: Patients psych themselves up to go to the hospital. It may knock them back for two or three days due to the journey, the time waiting, the time being seen and the time getting back. Again, that is pattern that people are telling me about. That is the big challenge they have. The fact that no one is coming up with a solution that seems to be easing or resolving their symptoms is hugely...

- Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jul 2022)
Seán Crowe: Believe it or not, I was head of Sinn Féin Youth in 1981. For a whole generation, particularly in Dublin, who at that time were teenagers or in our early 20s, the fire in the Stardust complex changed us forever. Forty-eight people died and 214 were injured on that fateful St. Valentine's night. Now, 41 years later, the families who fought tirelessly for answers have still not got the...
