Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (16 Nov 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. One of the small silver linings of Covid - and, let us be frank, there have very have been very few of them - has been people returning to rural Ireland and the vibrancy we are once again seeing in our villages. To take as an example Kilkee in County Clare, my party colleague, Councillor Cillian Murphy, has often bemoaned the fact that only one in three people in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (16 Nov 2021)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aviation Industry (16 Nov 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister for his response. All Members of the House are aware that aviation and tourism have been the two sectors most decimated by the Covid pandemic. Experts in the sector estimate that the pathway to recovery will take four to five years. That, in itself, is devastating for all those who depend on it. In the mid-west, we very much see Shannon Airport as being a catalyst for...

Cathal Crowe: My time is almost up but I thank Professor McCormack. A body of work must be done on this, although I realise it is tangential to what we are discussing today. It relates to scoliosis and is relevant for anybody who faces any form of orthopaedic surgery. There is a need to look at a regulatory regime that sounds very weak now. I suggest in future weeks we undertake a body of work on this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delays in Accessing Scoliosis Treatment and Surgery: Discussion (11 Nov 2021)
