Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: Would Mr. Murphy be open to that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: Yes, it is very worrying. My final question is to Mr. Wynne to build on that. I get the train an awful lot and it is comfortable and a lovely way to travel. It is so efficient, actually. People who do not travel on the train think it does not run on time, but it runs to the second; it is unbelievable. Very rarely something kicks off on the train and I have seen on Dublin Bus, the Luas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Wynne. If the Leas-Chathaoirleach will allow me one tiny last question-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: All credit to Dublin Bus, the service runs very late and it allows people to get home safely from a bar, nightclub or restaurant late at night. The issue with the inter-city buses and Irish Rail is you cannot really leave the capital after 9 p.m. at night, which is a pity when there is a big concert, match or whatever in Dublin. Not everyone can get a hotel. Jim Meade tells us it is...

Cathal Crowe: I congratulate the Taoiseach and wish him the very best in his new position.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I raise the inability of thousands of people in County Clare to get flood insurance for their homes and businesses. I recall when, in 2009, the lower River Shannon spilled its banks and flooded streets, pitches and many areas. However, only two homes in the whole county of Clare actually took water inside the front door that winter. Yet, the response of the insurance industry has been risk...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the witnesses for attending. I have a few brief questions to put to them. Like Deputy Shortall, I would like to see a breakdown of where the funding has been spent to date. Furnishing that to our committee would be appreciated. During the Covid pandemic, we all became very aware of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, ECDC. It was the mother ship in terms of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: The European cancer strategy overall, within the bloc.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I know it may not have been a question the witnesses had expected this morning, but I would like some additional information because this is a body we became very much aware of during Covid. It did some excellent work and we are affiliated to it, but an Irish cancer strategy cannot exist in isolation, particularly when we are part of a wider European bloc. We saw during the Covid pandemic...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: Finally, representatives of the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association are upstairs. They will meet most of our members as this day goes on. Currently, lung cancer screening is not part of the national strategy, but their concerns extend beyond that because of pulmonary fibrosis and long Covid. If there is lung cancer, people assume there is smoking or some hereditary issues there, but there are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise; I was at another meeting. The other evening, I met some cancer survivors who again raised the issue of the incessant battle they face getting medical cards. Does it remain a priority for the Irish Cancer Society? As TDs, we often need to write pretty miserable letters for people who have to repeatedly prove that their situation is woeful and that their outcome may not be...
