Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Corps (2 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: That plane crashed that night. All nine passengers on board, including Mexico's interior minister, were killed, as well as seven people on the ground, which was 16 people killed in total. It is very important that technology is kept up to date and kept safe. Many years ago I used to pilot planes myself.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Corps (2 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: It is very important in projecting Ireland to the world but also getting Irish people back home safely when required.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Transport (2 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I commend the Minister. Last year's free school transport scheme was fantastic. It had its teething problems but the very concept of it was one of the most positive we have had in years. Our colleague in the Government, the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, believes in public transport, as we all do.

Cathal Crowe: I have a final question. Shannon, County Clare, is Ireland's newest town. It was built in the 1960s and is quite close to the airport and industrial zone.

I do not think the Department...

Cathal Crowe: I provided a graphic image earlier, and will provide a final graphic image to conclude. When things are planned properly, Ukrainian refugees are welcome in our country.

When that did not happen...
