Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion (29 Jun 2022)

Cathal Crowe: ...others, paid the greatest price of all. Lives were lost in the feud and the actions that took place. This is important legislation that has brought about a feeling of safety and a sense that the Garda is in control. In this country, we have only one police force, thankfully, and only one Army. It is very important that when it comes to the safety and the policing of the State, one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána (15 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I understand, from an efficiency point of view, that the Garda wants to free people up from manning lines and have gardaí out there policing the streets. I do not mean this in a disparaging way - the people do not have policing smarts. None of the members of the committee is a garda; none of us has Garda training. It is the witnesses and the members of the force who have that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Medical Bureau of Road Safety: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Cathal Crowe: In April 2017, An Garda Síochána took on a role in drug testing on the side of our roads. I believe the test is used is the Dräger DrugTest 5000, an oral fluids test. If I understand correctly, it can pick up traces of opiates, cocaine, benzodiazepines and cannabis. The whole world of drugs is evolving by the day. There are pills and small tablets I have never heard of,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána (15 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: It just seems to me that we have the law and law enforcement but there is a middle layer from Garda headquarters. I am specifically referring, on this occasion, to scrambler bikes. A diktat went out from Garda headquarters in Phoenix Park. We have the law which provides for the apprehension, confiscation and removal of these bikes and we have gardaí wanting to enforce it but in the...

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...from the west, who is in the Public Gallery. This is positive legislation. It is something I spoke about 18 months ago in the House. Not a week goes by that we do not see on social media gardaí being harangued, pushed, jeered at and, in some instances, punched and cars being driven at them by absolute thugs, scum. It is right that gardaí should be given every personal...

Garda Siochana (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I fully support the Garda Síochána (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021. Most people will support it. I hope it will deliver more front-line policing, which everyone wants. I wish to make a number of points. The Limerick Garda division covers the county and city of Limerick, but a considerable part of it stretches into County Clare and many of the gardaí that are...

Garda Síochána (Compensation) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 May 2022)

Cathal Crowe: What Commissioner Harris has brought to An Garda Síochána is a different style of policing. He came from the PSNI which has a more robust form of policing: it is not policing by consent that we have had here for the past century. When the PSNI drives through a community, their vehicles are armoured and protected, which is not the case with An Garda Síochána, who tonight...
