Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Is that separate to the national aviation policy review?

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I do not want to pre-empt what could be a positive process, but it should not lead to a two-tier aviation policy, if the Minister of State will pardon the expression, where national aviation policy deals with Dublin while the regional airports programme deals with other airports. I would like the two to run concurrently. There is merit in what she is doing and we need to develop a growth...

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Cathal Crowe: There is a bit of a panic about this. When we discuss aviation, we are all guilty of thinking about airlines and airports and forgetting about leasing, drones and aviation's other subsectors. I met representatives of some of them yesterday. They are in a bit of a panic. The policy review will get under way in a few weeks and could conclude in the spring, leading to a flurry of activity in...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Cathal Crowe: Like all of us, the Minister of State was a local authority member. They are facing into a budget without knowing what they are planning for. This, if it happens, could account for one third of all expenditure in County Clare. They do not know if they will have it or not next year. There needs to be some certainty. I respect that multiple Departments are involved here but none of the...

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I will conclude with a few comments rather than questions. The Minister of State needs to have some oversight over TII and the NTA. They are very tricky for us, as elected representatives, to deal with. They are faceless. Half the time, we do not know who we are dealing with. We cannot get answers from them. It is a level of quangoism that came in some years ago with the HSE. There...

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Cathal Crowe: On Friday, Clare County Council will have its annual budgetary meeting. Its budgetary year does not align fully with the Government's budgetary year because local authorities and the Government have different budgetary years. Clare County Council is facing into 2023 not knowing whether it will be the custodian of the Shannon Heritage sites. This matter is a large component of the Minister...

Cathal Crowe: The new agri climate rural environment scheme, ACRES, for farmers is a couple of weeks from being nailed down. It is a good scheme but unfortunately, there are some cohorts which do not quite fit in. Farmers who are on the hen harrier scheme and superficially in Clare, Burren farmers. There are 400 farmers in Clare in the Burren Life programme. It is a fantastic project which is run by...
