Cathal Crowe: That is very frustrating.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Government Communications (14 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Is the Cabinet insisting on some form of investigation taking place in respect of the leaking of NPHET guidance in recent weeks before it came into the public domain or even, at times, before it came to the Cabinet? It is very frustrating. As a backbench Deputy, I sometimes feel like we are fighting fires with some of that information. It is circulating in the public domain and then, hours...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (14 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: The Department's Strategy Statement 2021-2023 lists the restoration of the economy as one of the key Government priorities. While the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, the employment wage subsidy scheme, EWSS, and countless other sectoral specific supports helped to stabilise the economy and bolster it during the pandemic, the construction sector remains very much in a state of flux with...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: This is a positive Bill. It is probably not the most exciting work we will do in Dáil Éireann this week but it is very important, particularly from a consumer point of view. The Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill is somewhat akin to the Finance Bill or the Social Welfare Bill. It arrives in November or December each year. The measures in it are designed to support risk...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I am in Leinster House 2000. I was here for the first hour and a half, but other meetings were going on. I apologise to the witnesses but I did get to hear all of their opening statements. My first question is to Ms Ní Fhallúin and is a little bit off centre. What engagement did she and the Department of Foreign Affairs have with the Munster rugby team? I was watching, aghast,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Is that it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Well, I have to respect that. It is a pretty large group of individuals, in size and in quantity, but I appreciate that. I hope they were given good support. Certainly, many people have curtailed their travel, but our sports teams have been travelling internationally over recent months. Lessons probably need to be learned from the Munster team's experience in order that when they are out...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I was assuming Mr. O'Connor would mention a hotel in the curtilage of Dublin Airport, because that is what has happened heretofore. No Member of Dáil Éireann, going into the Chamber last week, found this palatable. It is certainly a measure we want to see in place for the shortest possible time. If we determine somehow that the Omicron variant is not as volatile as it is now...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Towey and Ms Buckley for their responses and I appreciate that when they come to these meetings, they are asked the standard questions and a few curveball questions. We do not expect answers to everything, but I hope for an answer to this question in the coming days, as it has arisen for me a few times. I would love to know the answer to it. I remember way back at the start of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: During the Hallowe'en break recently, I flew to London for a few days with my family. On the outbound leg from Shannon Airport, I found that the systems in place were fantastic. I felt very safe. Flying out of Shannon Airport one would feel confident that one does so in an environment that, as far as possible, is Covid free and safe. However, on the inbound leg of my journey from London...
