Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Briefing on Current and Future Plans for the School Building Unit: Department of Education (31 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have a final question. Shannon, County Clare, is Ireland's newest town. It was built in the 1960s and is quite close to the airport and industrial zone. The population has grown exponentially over the years. It is now a huge town. The Department of Education has put enrolment caps in place, in particular in respect of St. Caimin's Community School. I do not think the Department...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Briefing on Current and Future Plans for the School Building Unit: Department of Education (31 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I provided a graphic image earlier, and will provide a final graphic image to conclude. When things are planned properly, Ukrainian refugees are welcome in our country. Refugees from anywhere are welcome in our country but we need to plan, engage and co-ordinate with stakeholders. Where that has been done successfully, we have proper classrooms and planning. When that did not happen...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I am hoping the Minister for Finance can answer this question. There are a lot of smart people in this House but I think the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, and the Minister, Deputy McGrath are two of the smartest. Their combined efforts in the financial ministries have us in a strong position as a country. My question is about vehicle registration tax, VRT, for people with disabilities. Before...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the witnesses for attending this morning. Is it not an awful indictment that there is more known about each one of our cars through the national car test database than there is about our public health? If I look up 141 CE 122, which is the registration number of my Honda car, I can see that much more is known about the wear and tear on the front right tyre and the wishbone joint than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I ask Dr. Murphy to answer the question. What paper system is there if someone from Galway moves down to Clare and then on to Wexford? What travels with a patient around the country?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: We have half the speaking time. Is there any uniformity whatsoever? Is there any paper record that will travel with Joe or Jill Bloggs as they go through one hospital system to another? Is there any uniformity?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Okay. We got to that eventually. Is there not a huge risk in that? I was in accident and emergency a few years ago with a concussion on the back of my head and the first 40 minutes or so were spent in triage. It was all questions about date of birth, PPS number and all of those things. If someone is coming in concussed or bleeding heavily from an injury, those initial moments should be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: If doing this internally - having an Irish system for an Irish problem - is taking so much time, why can we not go internationally? I hope this is not a clumsy analogy but I am on the transport committee and the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, is believed to have systems so far advanced internationally that it is now able to contract them out to other countries. Surely the NHS or other...
