Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I confirm I am in Leinster House. I thank Mr. Reid, his colleagues and the entire HSE organisation for their colossal work over the past 15 months. The vaccination programme has put it up to all critics. It is very successful and ahead of schedule. I congratulate them very much on where it is going. It is a roaring success. I will get into a number of questions. In terms of partners...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I respect everything Dr. Henry has said and it is good there is new guidance coming out today. It is morally cruel to deny someone the opportunity to have a partner with them for those key appointments. A medical doctor recently said on radio, which I thought was well put, that pregnancy and labour are medical conditions. In most cases, but not all, the person is good health, and that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: That is good progression. If Mr. Reid will forgive me, I want to get one final question in. HIQA stipulates all elderly residents in care centres should have a personal space of 7.4 sq. m around their bed. This has me worried about St. Joseph's Hospital in Ennis, that we will have a major loss of beds and the capacity to care. It is a fabulous hospital with great staff and wonderful care....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Maybe someone could comment in writing. I am conscious of time and we may not get a comprehensive reply because I am bouncing this question on Mr. Reid. Can somebody email a comprehensive reply in the coming days, if they do not mind? I thank the witnesses for everything here this morning.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Merchant Service Providers in the Travel Trade in Ireland: Discussion (23 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I understand that in her heart of hearts, Ms Mannion would probably agree with much of what we have to say, but that given her role, she has to be above politics and above committing to positions insofar as travel agents are concerned. I accept that she will not able to agree with what I have to say but I want to use a little of my time to make a brief statement. As a sector, travel agents...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Merchant Service Providers in the Travel Trade in Ireland: Discussion (23 Jun 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021 (29 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I confirm I am in Leinster House. I will be very brief because a number of meetings are clashing. I will not use up a whole lot of time. I just want to ask one question of Ms Steed. I read in her witness statement that she felt there was no future role for Tusla in this regard. We need to make informed decisions and have informed opinions. In her opinion, is there another agency in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021 (29 Jun 2021)

I have been following the discussion here in Leinster House and also remotely. The Minister of State is hearing from members about the need to shape this legislation in the right way. Overall, it is an excellent Bill. On leasing and the point made by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Minister for Transport (30 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise to the Chairman. I was speaking in the Chamber earlier. I thank the Minister for coming to today's meeting. I read his witness statement and will put a few points to him. It is very important the legislation captures existing forms of e-transport but it is equally important that it future-proofs things as well. As I understand it, the Road Traffic Acts date back to the 1960s....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Minister for Transport (30 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have one or two more points to make in my remaining time. There is a glaring omission from the Bill that should be encapsulated now and it relates to horses. There is not a county in the country where laneways are not closed off at the weekend by trucks, pick-ups and vans as sulky horses are raced down roads. This form of racing is provided for legally but it looks like the law is not...
