Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Statements (20 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to go slightly off script at the beginning and commend the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan. When we have statements or a discussion in this Chamber, Ministers and Ministers of State do not generally move outside their ministerial area to comment. However, the Minister of State has every right to lead the discussion here this evening given the immense courage she showed last July...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to go a little off the programme with my contribution vis-à-viswhat others have said. In the last 12 months, the Irish Government and its counterparts in Europe have looked at the issue of supply chains in the context of making vaccines available to Europe and dispersing them throughout the EU. This has been very successful. Many potholes were met along the way, particularly in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I am happy to speak now. It is good to be tested every now and then. I was a teacher before becoming a Deputy and I used to enjoy springing a question on a child to see whether he or she was listening in class. I am caught out myself today. Aviation is a very seasonal sector. We all, including those of us in this committee, wait with bated breath each autumn to see what schedules...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Geoghegan for his assessment. It is a valid point about how people travelled in the past versus the global connectivity we have now through Zoom and Microsoft Teams.

Cathal Crowe: I sincerely wish the DAA, encompassing both Dublin and Cork airports, every success. We want to the see aviation recover nationally. We have all taken parochial positions over the years when it came to our local airports because a huge loyalty to them has built up over the years. I have said in the past that there was a kind of predatorial relationship as between the DAA versus the Shannon...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I was not that trendy growing up. Teenagers in County Clare, as I am sure is the case in Limerick and throughout the country, have been craving social outlets for the past two years. Now they are being told that, although they might have their ticket, their appointment to get their hair done and their new dress or shirt, they cannot go into the disco because they are not vaccinated. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Chairman, I must absent myself to be in the Dáil Chamber. Before I go, I want to say in conclusion that a 14-year-old does not need to have a digital Covid certificate to go to school, attend hurling training, play a match or go to the cinema and suddenly he or she needs it now to socialise at weekends. I believe in vaccination. I believe in the risks of Covid. I believe in the...
