Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. The €55 million silage scheme he has introduced is a positive development that will put money back in the pockets of farmers.

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (25 May 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Before becoming a Member of this House, I was a teacher. Every morning, I would begin by doing a short Irish lesson. I will give this Chamber a short Irish lesson. The word "Tory" is a derivative of the old Irish word "toraidhe", which means robbers. I was watching Sky News earlier and I saw the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, grovelling. He was on his feet defending a party in 10...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Heritage Sites (25 May 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I appreciate the Minister of State's reply. The problem for everyone in County Clare at present is that this is very much in a state of flux. When the Government announced that these were going to be transferred to Clare County Council, it was like the announcement of a divorce or a relationship split. Immediately, Shannon Group took its eye of interest off the Shannon Heritage sites....

Cathal Crowe: I welcome Dr. Bedford. His CV is very impressive and he brings a lot of expertise to this. Unfortunately, a lot of the work he does is probably of a tragic nature because, no more than the Road Safety Authority, he is delving into the cause of accidents, their aftermath etc. I would like to take up a number of points, following Deputy Carey's questions. I refer to drug-driving. For...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Medical Bureau of Road Safety: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Cathal Crowe: In April 2017, An Garda Síochána took on a role in drug testing on the side of our roads. I believe the test is used is the Dräger DrugTest 5000, an oral fluids test. If I understand correctly, it can pick up traces of opiates, cocaine, benzodiazepines and cannabis. The whole world of drugs is evolving by the day. There are pills and small tablets I have never heard of,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Medical Bureau of Road Safety: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

I do not drink or take drugs and drive, but I find fatigue something I have tried to overcome when I am coming to the Dáil early in the morning and late at night. Many people face that. I do not suppose...
