- Annual Transition Statement: Statements (15 Jun 2022)
Cathal Crowe: I am sharing time with Deputy Bruton. There is an irony in how many young people live their lives these days. They have no problem going online and ordering a pair of jeans manufactured in China or Asia which have to make four or five stops before being courier-delivered to their door. However, the people who are prepared to shop like this are increasingly discouraged from travelling...

Cathal Crowe: I wish to ask the Minister about Shannon Airport. Its management team has made an application to Government under the Brexit adjustment fund to try to secure European hub connectivity, something that is all the more important since Brexit.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Cathal Crowe: I welcome the witnesses. Last night, after leaving the Dáil, I took a train home and ended up having to go to the accident and emergency unit of University Hospital Limerick with a family member. I will talk about some of my experiences. The emergency department was extremely busy and there were some trolleys in corridors. The place was not as chaotic as on other days but it was a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Cathal Crowe: I left the accident and emergency unit of UHL around 1 o'clock this morning. I am hugely grateful to the staff who are under savage pressure and are very good at their job. I say that with huge sincerity. I am grateful I have not experienced other accident and emergency departments. It is by virtue of where I live that I have not been to other emergency departments. It is struck me last...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Cathal Crowe: Yes, but the HSE has advised the Government and advised on where the location should be. There is an expert committee that has advised the Government that there is a need for three, and that they should be in Dublin, Cork and Galway. That is the nub of what I am asking. Given all the pressures UHL and the surrounding counties are under, who has decided that it does not merit an...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Cathal Crowe: Both Mr. Watt and I know that the Government acts on recommendations from the witnesses. If an expert report says something, that is generally what the Government adopts. There generally is no push back. Can the witnesses please furnish that memorandum in its entirety or redacted? The mid-west and we as its elected representatives need to know what is the logic and what metric has been...

An Post was everywhere when much of society was not circulating. It was brilliant. I only found out the other day that PPE was being brought to home carers. An Post had a partnership with Home Care Ireland that involved...
