It was transformative for communities because we saw more of our...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Economic and Social Council (19 Oct 2022)

Cathal Crowe: If my hair stands up, the Leas-Cheann Comhairle will know the microphone has shocked me, with the rain dropping in this corner. I notice it is dry in other parts of the Chamber but we are still standing. I have a straightforward question and I hope the Taoiseach can tell us something positive. The Limerick northern distributor road, phase 1, from Coonagh to Knockalisheen, finally got...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Citizens' Assembly (19 Oct 2022)

Cathal Crowe: On the matter of the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, the lack of broadleaf trees was very much raised. In my constituency, very close to my home, we have Cratloe Wood, a 600 acre plantation which was once western Europe’s largest oak wood.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to ask a question that has been recurring in the Dáil Chamber in the past few weeks. It relates to the transfer of Shannon Heritage to the local authorities in the mid-west, principally Clare County Council. I acknowledge that the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, has been forthcoming in engaging with us in the county about the matter. I went to meet the workers again last...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Coach Sector: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I have been following some of the debate from my office. The witnesses were a bit kind and generous to the NTA because if I were on their side of the room, I would probably be hitting my head against the wall at times having to deal with its staff.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Coach Sector: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the witnesses for their insights. Over the past two months or so, each member of the committee has been inundated with calls and emails from constituents about the current school bus fiasco. Though they have been very good and have tried everything to try to accommodate people, what we hear repeatedly from Bus Éireann management is that there are no drivers available. There...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Coach Sector: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I have one final question. The UK Nationality and Borders Act came in some months ago and it was all about limiting how people could come in at Dover. The then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson was at the time trying to put a block on illegal immigration into the UK. One of the upshots of that was a proposal that there would be form-filling and fee-paying to get over the Border to Northern...
