Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Education (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. It is now 17 years since I graduated from UL. At the time I went there it was very much a Limerick campus. It was in Castletroy but its footprint has extended into County Clare. It is widely believed the campus is now at saturation point on the Limerick side. It has very little room to expand unless it starts knocking and rebuilding some of its facilities or...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Education (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: UL has produced thousands of aviation graduates. The same can be said for Limerick Institute of Technology, now part of the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest. It would be remiss of me to not mention that this morning as I will shortly head out to meet the chief executives of Lufthansa Technik and of Atlantic Aviation Group. Yesterday we had a double-edged sword...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Spratt and the Department for being here today. There are a number of points I would like to make. With regard to electric vehicles, there has been a very good discussion so far but a number of members have mentioned some of the hesitancy about buying an electric vehicle, putting it on the road and everything involved. I will be very frank. One of the things that puts me off...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Of course I will be but this is factual. This was covered in the newspapers. He objected and took this project through the ringer. That is wrong. If the Department were developing a BusConnects project in Dublin, I would think it would be utterly wrong for me as someone living in County Clare to hold up a Dublin project. Yet, it is possible for someone on the other side of Ireland to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport (13 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Spratt. There are two areas where the Department of Transport can act, the first being school transport which he addressed. The second is trains.

In other European countries, if people are at a level crossing they will see a train with 20 or 30 carriages passing. We do not...

Recovery of Tourism and Aviation: Statements (7 Oct 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I am sharing time with Deputy Griffin and will be taking six minutes. The two Ministers represent the two sectors most ravaged by Covid. It has been predicted by those within those industries that the post-Covid recovery could take three or four years. That is certainly the case in respect of aviation. There has been a little bit of a bounce back in the tourism sector as a result of...
