Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wastewater Treatment (6 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: The Minister's tones are definitely positive, and that is to be welcomed, but what we are talking about here is intrinsic to so many other debates that happen in this House. The provision of sewerage provides for the ability of a village to grow and to have housing for people to come back to rural areas, for the local school to survive and for the local shop, the local pub and the post...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: The Chair talking there allowed me to catch my breath - I am after running down the street. I have been following this debate. I am not usually a member of this committee but I have an interest. This is a national story that the whole country is concerned about but also it matters in my locality because we have Lyric FM headquartered down the road from us in Limerick city. Many Clare and...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: In the past week, Mr. Lynch caught his own breath and I am sure he had meetings to see how to prepare for today. Did he at any time chat with Mr. Tubridy in the past week?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I refer to the Lyric FM issue, and there are many more examples. RTÉ staff are speaking to us. It is a pretty broad organisation. We are repeatedly told of the projects that could not happen and were axed, or people who had other pay claims and felt they were being underpaid and their claims were also axed. Would Mr. Lynch be able to quantify today or in writing to this committee, in...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Productions, equipment and capital works that might have been cut back on - even the shedding of staff. That has not come out yet but I am sure there have been workforce losses and people retired and were not replaced. I want to see a quantification of that. That is really what galls your workers and your colleagues. At a time of opulence for some, it was sauce for the few and crumbs for...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: To conclude, I was a schoolteacher for many years. Kids, when they were in trouble, would often come to us at the classroom door quite upset. However, when you stop and think about it, they were upset at being caught and in trouble; they were not really upset for what they had done. When I hear of cars being returned yesterday and things like that, it does not smack of sincerity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Driver Recruitment: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have read the opening statements and my questions are largely for Bus Éireann, if that is okay. I do not represent Dublin.
