Nature Restoration Law and Irish Agriculture: Statements (31 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for taking today's debate. I am little bit puffed because I got the train just a short while ago and as I was pedalling up the quays the Whip's office said my slot was coming up shortly. I was hoping Deputy Bruton would filibuster for a while but there is only so much one can say about agriculture. Happily, I made my speaking slot. We are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to address this question to Mr. O'Connell and then address Mr. Keating. Any time their counterparts who manage airports come before the committee, they always tell us about their environmental credentials.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)
