Residential Tenancies Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister again for bringing this legislation before the House. It is progressive legislation and is the fourth time since last summer he has brought forward such legislation before the House to protect tenants during the Covid pandemic. Despite what others have said in terms of populist grandstanding, this legislation protects people. I know several constituents, some of whom...

Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Covid-19 Pandemic (25 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: 60. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will seek a revision of Covid-19 restrictions in order that visitor attractions can reopen at level 3; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16094/21]

Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: Back to Work Enterprise Allowance Scheme (25 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: 118. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if the back to work enterprise allowance can be repurposed to include self-employed persons in the tourism and arts sectors given that restrictions are likely to continue for some time; and, if not, if there is scope to set up a targeted scheme for such persons who are missing out on such payments. [16095/21]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Housing Policy and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I confirm I am in Leinster House. I thank the Chair for allowing me to participate in this afternoon’s meeting. I have followed the debate all along. I thank the witnesses for their participation. This is a matter close to my own heart. I have a few issues I want to put to the witnesses. The Covid crisis has served as a wake-up call to many families particularly in parts of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Housing Policy and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I am happy to do that. I want to raise the point about the location of housing for people mainly with intellectual disabilities. There seems to be a trend around large houses at the edge of a village or a town, which are typically former bed and breakfasts that have ceased trading. One sees this regularly in county towns. There is an eight or ten-bedroom unit at the edge of a town or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I get that and I know Mr. Ryan cannot have knowledge of all the cases that are being thrown his way today. As a Deputy, I am aware of a significant number of people behind the scenes who are crisscrossing by phoning GPs asking whether they can take them in because they cannot get to their local GP. We appreciate there is significant strain but as the administrative body for the GMS, I want...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: It is a public hospital on Shelbourne Road. It is about half a mile from Thomond Park. It is the old county home in Limerick.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I submitted a parliamentary question. It is of key importance to people in the mid west that some clarity is brought to bear on this because it is quite a hefty fee to face after a hospital stay in St. Camillus's hospital, which has been there for over two centuries. It took a lot of us by surprise to hear that a charge has been set for people when they are discharged. I know that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Flanagan for that. If there is a random selection element, which Mr. Flanagan more or less explained-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Discussion (30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: That needs to be explained very clearly. It might be in the review correspondence people receive but it needs to be explained a bit better. In normal times when politicians are holding clinics, people appear saying that they have received a letter from the HSE telling them that their medical card is under review, telling us that their situation had not changed income or health-wise and...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised)
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised)
(30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State for being with us here today virtually. We appreciate her attendance. Yesterday I was one of a number of Deputies and Senators in the mid-west who met the chambers of commerce from Shannon, Ennis and Limerick and the Irish Hotels Federation. They held a very informative meeting, including a lengthy PowerPoint presentation, on how they envisage a safe return...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised)
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised)
(30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: That is positive. It must be backed with funding and I am sure this will be forthcoming from Government. Another key issue is route development and retention. I know that across Europe, there was an easing of the rules that typically applied to the holding of landing slots at hub airports but from midsummer onwards, we need funds to attract new routes and retain existing ones. It is...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised)
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised)
(30 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Time is of the essence. Everything the Minister of State said is very positive but it needs to happen at pace. A lead-in period is always needed for aviation to recover and airlines to schedule flights for their coming season. I have one final question on post offices. I know a review is under way. It concerns me that the review may not perfectly align with the June deadline for those...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (31 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have a slightly different take on aspects of this discussion. We are living every day according to NIAC, NPHET and the HSE. These entities are part of everyday parlance and every time we turn on the television or radio, we hear figures and statistics. Mother ship Europe also has a co-ordinating agency, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, ECDC, based in Stockholm. The...

Children (Amendment) Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (31 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: This legislation is important and timely. My colleague, Deputy Jim O'Callaghan, has been to the fore in advancing this over the past several months. My colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Browne, from Wexford is doing a fantastic job in the Department in progressing this legislation. The renowned British graffiti artist, Banksy, has often said that one dies twice. The first time...
