Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: An inspection undertaken by HIQA at St. Joseph's Hospital, Ennis, in March found that some patients had gone a period of months without showering. We have had Joe Duffy telling us to wash our hands every day on the radio. The latter has been drilled into us and yet the necessity of washing themselves was denied to patients at St. Joseph's in an attempt to curb the spread of Covid within the...

Private Security Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have used my first 30 seconds to walk up here because the clock is moving a lot quicker than I thought it was. I thank the Whip's office for alerting me that my slot was coming up. As I have just jogged up the quays, I have done all my exercise for the day to get back here in time. This is important legislation. We have all seen a number of horrible and unsavoury evictions take place...

Loan Guarantee Schemes Arrangements (Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland) Bill 2021: Second Stage (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: This is a very positive Bill that provides a legislative basis for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment and of course the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to enter into an agreement with IBRC so they can implement the Brexit impact loan scheme. Once launched, it is intended the scheme will open up to SMEs and those that employ up to 499 people. It will provide...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I join the Chairman and others in thanking Bainne Beatha and Cuidiú for being here this morning. I have read the witness statements and I thank them for all the work they are doing. Overnight we heard the positive announcement by the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, of €1.58 million to hire an additional 24 lactation consultants for hospitals. I am also really delighted to hear that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have seen very few people breastfeeding - perhaps in somebody's living room. I have not seen anyone breastfeed in a public space, although we have not been in restaurants and cafés in many months. Are there still major social barriers?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Is it society at large? Is it businesses? Is it men?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: It is very unsanitary.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have heard many doctors in the Covid realm say over the past few months that healthcare would be revolutionised by Covid. Perhaps it will be the start of a movement here because it needs to be normalised. We have far too many hang-ups in Ireland about small things like this. So what if the woman in the corner having her lunch is breastfeeding her baby. Is it not wonderful and why should...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I hope members can hear me. I am at the Convention Centre Dublin. I thank Mr. Bassato for attending our committee. I have been listening with interest to everything he has had to say and there are some similarities in some ways in the testing regimes. There is a big difference, however, in how a passenger arriving in Italy is treated. There is no mandatory quarantine and passengers are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: There is a plan for European countries, for countries in the Schengen area, which is contingent on all of it being signed off and implemented, hopefully by late June. Will the current trial between Rome Fiumicino and JFK International Airport in New York and other US airports continue? ill it coexist once the DGC is in place? Is it considered to be an interim arrangement? Mr. Bassato...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: This is the nub of everything we need to get to. I doubt many people in Rome are watching the committee but for those watching on home soil, this is the nub of where we need to get to: a digital, e-health application that was trialled by Italy, albeit unilaterally. We need to drill deep into this kind of technology, even if it is rudimentary or a few weeks off full development, that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have been listening with interest. I want to take a closer look at the efficacy. Does all this speeding up of testing, accelerating of the process, involvement of machines and mechanisation in any way reduce the efficacy?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have a question for Mr. Lord. If we were in blank cheque territory and if, overnight, all the airport authorities in Ireland and the Government said this was a great idea and that we would go with it, to what extent can Nuevo step into the Irish aviation sector? What is its upper capacity in terms of roll-out and testing ability? If we were to see recovery of aviation over the coming...
