Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I express my confidence in the Ceann Comhairle, Deputy Murphy. Instead of having these statements, a number of TDs should be on their feet offering apologies and retracting statements they made last week. It is a good thing the microphone did not pick up some of those comments because they were outrageous, but they were very much heard in this Chamber throughout the debate last week. It...

Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I hope the Deputy will be writing to the Ceann Comhairle tomorrow in that regard. Deputy McDonald assumes we on this side have collective amnesia but we have waited two years to hear about her connections with convicted criminal Jonathan Dowdall.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service (2 Apr 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State sincerely for her response. She comes from County Waterford, a big county. I live on the southern extremity of County Clare, close to the Limerick border.

Housing Emergency Measures: Motion [Private Members] (2 Apr 2025)

There were a hundred issues that I would like to have raised last week but I got two minutes speaking time in the entire Dáil week to speak about legislation from the 1820 to the 1850 period. How irrelevant when I want to speak on topics like this. I am glad that anyone who is watching at home can look at the...
