Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (7 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: It is good to see Mr. Ó Céidigh at this meeting. I met him earlier in Buswells Hotel. It is great to see him in Dublin and the Houses of the Oireachtas, a place where he is very much at home. It is great to welcome him to his role as chairperson of the Shannon Group.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (7 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: The Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, was sitting in the same seat now occupied by Mr. Ó Céidigh just last week. I asked him about Mr. Ó Céidigh taking on an executive role.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Spratt and the Department for being here today. There are a number of points I would like to make. With regard to electric vehicles, there has been a very good discussion so far but a number of members have mentioned some of the hesitancy about buying an electric vehicle, putting it on the road and everything involved. I will be very frank. One of the things that puts me off...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Of course I will be but this is factual. This was covered in the newspapers. He objected and took this project through the ringer. That is wrong. If the Department were developing a BusConnects project in Dublin, I would think it would be utterly wrong for me as someone living in County Clare to hold up a Dublin project. Yet, it is possible for someone on the other side of Ireland to...

This has been very successful. Many potholes were met along the way, particularly in...
