Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise that I had a clash of meetings but I have been able to follow a good deal of the deliberations today. I thank all of our guests. There are quite a number of witnesses today and it is good to see them participate in this meeting. I will first turn to the Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, and specifically to Dr. Nolan. Over the past 18 months or so, I have noticed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Maybe I differ from Ms Farrell on this but for a person who is experiencing a lot of pain and anguish daily with regard to their health concerns, I think CBD is something else that is worth trying.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I will conclude with a few comments. It is a position I have held for a number of years. We need to have a national debate on cannabis overall. It is a fact that in many homes and many social outlets in Ireland people consume cannabis. As a society we have chosen to ignore this for a long time. I lived in Belgium and in Holland for some time where the drug is regulated by the state...

Cathal Crowe: Within the region and among those who work in aviation, there is an appetite among the big stakeholders for a shake-up of the board. To be clear, I commend and compliment what Mary Considine is doing as chief executive, but sometimes a few new players can help to reinvigorate a board. I am sure Pádraig Ó Céidigh and Mary Considine will complement each other. My point is just...

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. Regarding aviation overall, there is a need for a number of interventions. It is going to be one of the last sectors to experience a post-Covid recovery. A number of interventions have been made. Fianna Fáil was very respectful of the coalition of parties in government but there is also delineation between parties. We put forward a submission paper with some...

Cathal Crowe: I agree with the Minister that the growth needs to be regionally balanced. He signed off on the Limerick northern distributor road project at the start of this year. It is making huge headway, as the Chairman can attest to. It straddles both of our constituencies. It is a shining light in what has been a few dull months nationally and in the mid-west. It is a major infrastructural...

Cathal Crowe: It would be fantastic. There is significant buy-in for it. I have made a submission in support of it. It is great to hear the Minister's views on it. My concern is the project includes a roundabout, 3 km of dual carriageway and another roundabout. On reaching Meelick, traffic will leave the road in small lanes heading towards minor country roads. We cannot have a situation where phase 1...
