Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)

Michael Lowry: When it appears before us, we will take those points up with the authority. Can our guest speakers clarify one issue for me? I raised this question in the Dáil a month before the recess. I was at Dublin Airport and the Dublin Airport Authority, DAA, is also answerable to this committee. I seek clarification about a time I came in on a late-night flight at Dublin Airport and there...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Oct 2022)

Michael Lowry: I thank the Tánaiste. At present, 58,000 people in the mid-west region are on waiting lists. UHL does not have the capacity or capability to complete these assessments. The option to upgrade and increase the services provided at Nenagh and Ennis hospitals is an obvious way to ease this pressure. I wish to acknowledge, in this House, and compliment the management and staff at Nenagh...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Ryanair (30 Nov 2022)

Michael Lowry: I thank Mr. O'Leary. He and Mr. Wilson are at the coalface and see things happening. What do they think about security in Dublin Airport? The 3D technology was trialled at Heathrow and it is amazing Shannon has it in place while our main airport, our monopoly airport, does not have it. What improvements can we make to get through people faster? It obviously impacts on Ryanair's...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Facilities (25 Jan 2018)

Michael Lowry: I thank the Minister. I welcome that an additional €450,000 is included by the Health Service Executive for the funding in 2018 and 2019. I am sure it will contribute to the enhancement of services, particularly for older people in south Tipperary. I also welcome that consultation and discussions have been taking place with consultants and key personnel in the general hospital in...

Topical Issue Debate: Company Takeovers (18 Jul 2013)

Michael Lowry: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me the opportunity to raise a serious matter on C&C Group and its existing operations in Tipperary and Dublin. Since the takeover of M&J Gleeson, I have made efforts to seek clarification from C&C on its future intentions. Its responses were particularly guarded and rather coy, leading me to be suspicious of their forward planning and its...

Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (15 Sep 2020)

Michael Lowry: The reality is that the mental health budget has remained at 6% of the overall health budget for many years. There are fewer staff working in mental health services than there were in 2008. In January 2020, there were 10,642 individuals waiting for 12 months or more on waiting lists. There were also 2,000 children and young people on the waiting lists. In regard to Tipperary, at a time...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Michael Lowry: Ms Gubbins has given me an answer. I would have thought the DAA's reputational profile was more important than its financial profile, particularly when it could have reached out to the Government and sought support in view of the circumstances in which it found itself. What is the ratio of permanent staff to casual staff to temporary staff at the airport? We have heard a lot of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)

Michael Lowry: It is very important that we take this up with the regulator. The development and expansion of the airport is obviously critical to our economic growth and development. The position held by the regulator is central to the ability of the DAA to raise funds and implement its development plans. My final point is a mundane one. With all of this development and expansion, there will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Oct 2020)

Michael Lowry: I will give Mr. Wilson an opportunity to reply to the questions on reuniting families at Christmas and mixed messages, to set out Ryanair's position on those who are eligible for refunds and the lack of rapid testing, and to outline his views on the fact that competitors have access to state aid, which puts our airlines at a disadvantage.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (25 Sep 2018)

Michael Lowry: I appreciate the Taoiseach's overview. I must ask him one specific question. Some months ago, I raised with him the issue of rural roads and funding therefor. We have had storms, floods and frost. All of those events have had a serious impact on the condition of rural roads. At the time, the Taoiseach said to me that it was an issue and I said people in rural areas felt abandoned,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2019)

Michael Lowry: It is also important to realise that the public is angry at the scale of the profits being made. The scale of profits suggests that the insurance industry has lost its sense of service. Previously, one's insurance broker or insurance agent was a trusted guide; now they increasingly resemble a group of profiteers. What we are looking for is real and substantial insurance reform. The public...
