Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: The briefing note is excellent. I will veer away from the education end because it speaks for itself. The funding speaks for itself and I agree that it is absolutely essential. I wanted to home in on the other pathways. On 10 April, Mr. Hourihan emailed a very detailed note to me, which provided a county-by-county brief. I represent County Clare. According to the figures supplied,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: In recent weeks, the committee has undertaken a body of work on the national cancer strategy. I expect that oral cancer can bee seen or spotted first, or certainly the suspicion of its existence can be identified, by a dentist.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Dr. Gallagher for her insight on that. If the Chairman will allow, we could discuss this forever but would there be any possibility that after today's meeting Mr. O'Flynn or one of the witnesses might send correspondence to the committee outlining which countries Ireland has a memorandum of understanding with and where the memorandum has been working? We do not need to say which...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (8 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State for taking this Topical Issue matter this evening. Tubber is a very small village situated right on the Clare-Galway border. It is a few kilometres south of Gort and a few kilometres north of Crusheen. It is a beautiful village. I am sure that as a Mayo man, the Minister of State can almost imagine how rural, scenic and beautiful Tubber is. In 1852, like...

As Deputies, we receive announcements. We received...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (9 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister for her engagement and for her answer. I have looked at the funding for last year and this year. Many counties have gained. Clare could be unique - I accept that there may be more counties involved - because it has seen a diminution in funding. I am a Government backbencher. Across nearly all funding streams I can think of - including sports capital funding, the...
