Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Heritage Sites (3 Mar 2022)

Cathal Crowe: How does the Minister propose, through his Department, to support Clare County Council and other local authorities in the mid-west as they take over the running of the iconic Shannon Heritage sites in the region?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Heritage Sites (3 Mar 2022)

Cathal Crowe: The genesis of all this is a Cabinet decision taken in June 2021 that the sites would transfer from the Shannon Group, which always has its eyes on aviation and what happens in the skies. In recent years, however, it has also run the heritage portfolio in the mid-west. That has probably been a distraction, and Covid has exposed that. Everyone in the region wants this to be a success, but...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Heritage Sites (3 Mar 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State. I am reassured by the commitment but it needs to be backed up with subvention. Clare County Council wants to fulfil the wishes of Government and is fully engaged and committed to this. When it carried out due diligence, it revealed structural damage like cottage roofs falling in and the castle roof in poor repair, as well as umpteen things across the grounds...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (24 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Donnelly; and the Minister of State, Deputy Butler.

This week marks the first meeting of this health committee since the winding back of restrictions. Many times in this forum we have thanked...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (24 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. We had representatives of Bainne Beatha before our committee some months ago and they engaged with the Minister as well. It is a really good group for giving advice and a guide to the Department. It should maintain those links and keep contact as the Department continues to fill the positions. I will revert to the elective hospitals. We saw before Christmas that...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (24 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Could the Minister give the Sláintecare committee, which steered it to this point, new terms of reference and ask it to look at that mid-west problem and whether there is scope, potential or possibility for a new elective hospital in that region? It is going to need a bit of political input. Those on the Sláintecare committee have said that the job is done, they made their...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (24 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: When the Minister travelled to UHL last Thursday, which was very much appreciated in the region, he made a journey but the management of UHL also made a journey to the hospital because in the past year or two they upped sticks from the hospital campus. They moved their offices to about 2 km away. They are no longer based in the hospital. Before I was a Deputy, I was a teacher. I have...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (24 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: All I ask is that a phone call be made expressing outright concern, the concern we, the elected representatives of the region, have. The staff in the hospital and people who live in the region have significant concerns about this. All I ask is that the Minister takes a strong position and relays that to them in the coming days. They need to be back on the hospital campus. That is all I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the officials from the Department and ComReg and thank them for the presentation and the briefing notes that were emailed to us.

I brushed it off and said we have been there and heard...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Yes. I put it to the Department and ComReg we have a proliferation in populated areas because it makes economic sense and is lucrative, while we still have companies avoiding parts of west Clare and other areas. We have proliferation and abandonment. The two do not work. There has been lax enforcement in that regard as well. I will finish there. We need to keep some eye on the health...
