Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Business of Joint Committee
Integrated Education: Discussion (26 Sep 2019)

Perhaps when they get the nomination, they might come back and visit us but we will take them up on their kind invitation and, hopefully, meet up in the future. We will now go into private session. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: General Affairs Council: Minister of State (2 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: The Minister of State is very welcome. To follow on from that, Brexit is overshadowing everything. I listened to the Minister of State's remarks and there is probably very little in them with which I would disagree but I have a different view from that of my colleague on my left. I am alarmed by what is contained in the non-papers. That we would have a buffer zone on both sides of the...

Defence Forces (Evidence) Bill 2019: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: I will begin by thanking the Oireachtas Library and Research Service for the work it has done on the Bill. Its digest is very useful for Opposition Deputies. It is a resource and facility we tend not to talk up but it is very useful. There is a danger that many of the concerns I intend to express will lead to repetition because they are similar to those raised by Deputy Jack Chambers....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (3 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: I thank the Chairman for facilitating me, as I will be debating legislation in the Chamber soon. What Boris Johnson presented to the European Commission as a workable alternative to the backstop yesterday amounts to a dangerous and reckless proposition that many of us would say plays fast and loose with the Good Friday Agreement. The British Government is offering an all-Ireland...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (3 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: Regarding the same issue, I refer the use of food as a weapon in Yemen. Is there even agreement that this is wrong? Could the European Union step in there?

Seán Crowe: As I did not get the opportunity to speak to the Bill on Second Stage, I will take a few minutes to do so now. I thank the Oireachtas Library and Research Service.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons Bill 2019: Committee Stage (3 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: May I comment before the Bill is put through this Stage? I know that there was nobody present from the Labour Party to move amendment No.1, but I ask the Minister of State to comment on whether it would strengthen or weaken the Bill. If it would strengthen the Bill, perhaps he might take it on board before Report and Final Stages in the Dáil.

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 9: General (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: My colleague noted that some of her constituents have waited 33 months for early intervention but in my constituency, some people have waited 40 months. That is a long time for somebody to secure speech and language supports for a child, in view of the fact that during that period, the child will regress. Budgets are supposed to be transformative, to make circumstances better and to make...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (10 Oct 2019)

Seán Crowe: A total of 6,480 children are waiting for various treatments or assessments in the CHO 7 area, of which my constituency of Dublin South-West has the highest proportion. It would be appropriate to send a message to the families waiting for those assessments on World Mental Health day, particularly to the many parents who are going through the courts to try to get an assessment. They believe...
