Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have been following this for a number of weeks and I know that Ukraine once again will dominate the agenda next week when the Taoiseach is in Brussels. I will make a few points in that regard on the domestic front first of all. Ambassador Filatov continues to be an enemy of the Irish State, not just of the Ukrainian state. He is an enemy of our State and has been for many months. His...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Quarterly Update on Matters relating to Minister of State's Remit: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Like many Oireachtas Members, the Minister of State is a former councillor. Councillors are only allowed to put forward speed limit changes every five years.

Would he consider a more ad...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Quarterly Update on Matters relating to Minister of State's Remit: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Cathal Crowe: If all three are aligned, it should be possible. The Minister of State has covered the issue of NCT delays. I wish to ask a question that no one has fully answered on the airwaves or during debates in the Dáil. What is the insurance status of someone who has a delayed NCT? Oireachtas Members constantly receive emails about the issue. People accept there will be a delay. In fact,...

Cathal Crowe: Will consideration be given to employing driving instructors on secondment for three or four months to help tackle the driver test backlog? Driving instructors know the driver test inside out and have an intimate knowledge of the roads of the county where they work.

Cathal Crowe: I am up next and I do not have a huge number of questions for the Minister of State. We read the brief.
