Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I have a letter here from a senior management official in Clare County Council. I will just read the beginning of it. It is written to Government. I am writing to you regarding the deepening focus on migrant accommodation in north Clare, specifically in Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan. I am urging you to reduce the numbers of migrants in these settlements to reasonable levels as I have...

Cathal Crowe: They are Ukrainians and international protection applicants. They have been welcomed. I want to make it crystal clear that there has been no hassle. The council, the county management team, the HSE and people in education have pointed out that when they represent 125% of the settled population, something has to give. We are asking for better management. A simple thing would be not to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise for being late. I had a meeting at home. I also travelled by car today which is very rare. It is the first time in months. Usually when I am on the train I am one of the first into the room. I thank Mr. Meade and Mr. Kenny not just for being here today but for their continuous engagement. They are fantastic in how they lead out the organisation. I am a regular train user...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Kenny. On the greater uptake in usage, is there any additional detail that can be given about the early morning trains that originate in Munster but pass through all the commuter belt towns from Portlaoise on through Newbridge, Celbridge and so on? They are nice, calm trains until they get to Portlaoise and then suddenly there are people standing in the carriages. It all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: On the modernising of the fleet, carriage B was traditionally the catering carriage with much of it being taken up with the catering facilities, kitchen and bar area. That does not seem to be a feature of travel anymore. Will it be phased back operationally or will those become more redundant and be replaced with seating?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: As the fleet modernises, I am very cognisant of the fabulous work the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland is doing. I went out to Connolly Station recently to visit the locomotive shed. I met Peter Rigney and some of his colleagues. They do fabulous work. I was expecting them to say they had a long list of things they wanted Irish Rail to do, but it was quite the opposite; they said...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I wrote recently to the committee Chairman and the clerk about this. We want to see the new facilities at Heuston, but it would be nice to marry the two on the day and see how the preservation is going. I think a lot of members would have a personal interest in seeing the two so I hope it can happen. If the Chairman will forgive me, I would like to use my last few minutes to talk about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann (9 Oct 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Meade. If the Chairman will allow me a final question, I want to bring up car parking. Even at a low level and before we use a sledgehammer to crack a nut it would be really worthwhile if Irish Rail could have someone with a clipboard at the car parks for a few days to do a little survey on where people are coming and going from. The railway car parks across the country have a...
