Select Committee on Transport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025)

Cathal Crowe: My next point also relates to airports. AirNav Ireland and the Shannon Airport Group, the management group, have both flagged major concerns about wind farm development in County Clare, east Clare in particular, on the final approach to the Shannon Airport runway. They have said it simply poses a risk to the Woodcock Hill radar station, which is in my parish. I have farmland right up to...

Select Committee on Transport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I spoke in the Dáil quite recently about learner drivers and the requirement on those displaying L plates to have a fully qualified driver in the car with them at all times. That is fine if you live in a suburban area or if mom and dad are in the same house as you or living next door. In those cases, it works quite well. The spirit of the rule is very well intentioned. It aims to...

Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025)

Cathal Crowe: At the outset, I mentioned that the Minister was in Clare to cut a ribbon and open a road. This happened thanks to the previous Government, which funded it. People said it would never happen but it did happen and it is now open and functioning very well. Another road is being developed in County Clare straddling the Clare-Limerick border. It is called the Limerick northern distributor...

Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. When he goes to the Minister, Deputy Chambers, asking him to open the purse strings, perhaps he could show him a little clip of the Road Runner cartoon on his phone and tell him what happened to the Road Runner when he got to the end of the highway. He might just release the money and we might get the road built.

Select Committee on Education and Youth: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 26 - Education (Revised) (26 Jun 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I am the last contributor today. I want to bring up the area of physical literacy. We obsessively and rightly talk about literacy and numeracy, but physical literacy often gets forgotten. We expect young people to reach milestones by certain stages of their lives of ability in crawling, walking, running, throwing, catching and all so on, yet we expect all of that to be rolled out in a PE...

Select Committee on Education and Youth: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 26 - Education (Revised) (26 Jun 2025)

Cathal Crowe: I would not expect her to do it here in a public forum, but when she walks out into the corridor, the Minister might tell her officials to keep their hands off those PE halls and not suggest that they become special classrooms. They are sacrosanct; just keep them for that. If she delivers on this, we will be carrying her out shoulder high out of the room. There will be no one in government...

Cathal Crowe: We only have one member left. If Deputy Cummins agrees, I ask the Minister if she might furnish the committee with a who's who of the Department - just an organisational chart of who is responsible for the different areas. It would be helpful for us in our work beyond the committee rooms.

We thank her officials, particularly those who are on a double shift. They were here late last night, as others have alluded to. It is appreciated by each and every one of us.
