Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (21 Sep 2022)

We need a heading and a...

It would be wonderful if we could implement it again next year and fix the teething problems we have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Transport Issues: Engagement with Minister for Education (21 Sep 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Some European countries have made their entire public transport system free in response to climate change. We do not have that kind of advanced, integrated system at the moment but it makes a massive difference to send a bus to a school. It keeps 50 cars off the road and unburdens parents in the mornings. This is key. I am sure that each Minister pitches for their Department. The...
