Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Drugs Strategy: Minister of State at the Department of Health (19 Jan 2022)

Cathal Crowe: With the greatest respect, we should not try to sanitise this. I have made this point numerous times within the confines of this building. If we fluff over it, we are denying that it is happening.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion (19 Jan 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I confirm that I am in Leinster House 2000. I wish the committee members and the witnesses a very happy and healthy 2022. I thank the witnesses for their opening statements and for their contributions so far. I have been following the meeting all the way through. I refer to something the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, said in the Dáil Chamber when this matter was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion (19 Jan 2022)

Cathal Crowe: That is good to hear. We all saw that "Prime Time" special a few weeks ago on e-scooters. It was screened a few weeks before Christmas. A lot of these e-scooters have a restricter on them that inhibits the speed one can travel at. As the witnesses may recall, it was shown on "Prime Time" that a few clips of wire can be used to reset that restricter and enable those scooters to do much...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion (19 Jan 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I have concluded. I merely would ask that Ms Tinsley and Mr. Fulham comment on my questions. There were many questions in terms of the widths, etc. I find that some of these guidelines become more than guidelines. They become overly prescriptive to the point that in practical terms they do not work as well as they were intended to.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion (19 Jan 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Ms Tinsley. If Mr. Fulham has any views on the same questions, I would appreciate them.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion (19 Jan 2022)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Mr. Fulham. That has been very constructive. The guidelines I referred to, as have others, were devised at a time when the Ford Fiesta, which was a small hatchback, was the bestselling car in Ireland. We have very narrow parking spaces set down and prescribed by local authorities when planning permissions are granted and new developments are happening. It is happening all over the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (16 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: The principle of risk equalisation works well and it makes sense in the health realm. It makes no sense whatsoever insofar as flood cover insurance is concerned. In my county of Clare, a county of 118,000 people, one person in 12 is unable to get flood cover on his or her insurance largely due to flood events that happened ten, 12 or 15 years ago. What we have since is a national database...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (16 Dec 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister for his response. Some hotels will be left out of the scheme. Elaina Fitzgerald has been on the airwaves quite a lot lately. She is head of the Irish Hotels Federation. Her hotel in Adare, County Limerick, is one such hotel that will probably do pretty well coming into Christmas, but will not benefit from the scheme. That is her analysis, something that is replicated...
