Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Does Mr. Watt believe it is a barrier? If someone has for many years had a pay increase approved and it has not been paid, surely that is a barrier to delivery and affects and impacts on morale?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: It is a major factor and I think it needs to be drilled down into by this committee. In the days after I asked that question of hospital groups, I heard many people in management positions, both current and retired, say that this is a major barrier to Sláintecare delivery. Not everything is about how many beds, what trolley capacity and what acute capacity hospitals have. Sometimes a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I want to thank both of the witnesses for answering the questions I did not ask because I did not get to ask any questions. I know the Chairman has a difficult job. With respect to Deputy Shortall, I took it when she had a three or four-minute-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I am from the part of Clare that is geographically close to Limerick. I tune in when the Chair starts to talk about these projects, because I travel on the roads too. I think there is a clear message to deliver before the Ryder Cup. TII is always welcome. We enjoy engaging with it at the committee. I raise the receivership of Roadbridge. There is a project close to me, the Limerick...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I respect that Mr. Walsh cannot get into the details of this. A project is sadly under way and many people will lose jobs. I met some Roadbridge employees. It is a major employer in the mid-west. Workers are trying to bring back machinery from places as far away as the Scottish Highlands, where it had contract work. After we discuss its immediate needs, it is looking at redundancy and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: The Chairman is absolutely correct. Although I accept the northern distributor road does not come under the patronage of TII, I could not wait for it to happen because there is a commuter benefit. Leaving that to one side, there is an area straddling the Clare-Limerick county boundary, Redgate in Caherdavin, which is well known to the Chairman. At the moment, three or four bungalows have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion (6 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Walsh. They were all specific questions, so a note will suffice. The cat’s eye proposal is very simple. It is a design feature on which TII could form a position very quickly to support them being used on new build roads from here on. They have been transformational elsewhere. I have seen it myself in one country. I was driving by night, and as I reached a certain...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí agus ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy and Legislation (27 Apr 2022)

Cathal Crowe: As with many Deputies, a large amount of work in my office involves dealing with medical cards and people who are struggling to get a medical card approved or have a decision on appeal. As we are halfway through our budgetary year cycle, I ask that in the autumn the Government consider providing that when someone has a cancer diagnosis he or she will automatically qualify for a medical card....
