Afghanistan Crisis: Statements (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Thank you. I will end at eight minutes then. I ask the Minister to please intervene. The people to whom I refer need to be brought back. These are Irish citizens. We talk about hospitals, roads and airports, but it breaks my heart to see young girls who belong in our Irish education system still stuck out in Kabul and who, when they try to get the safety, are thrashed by Taliban...

Afghanistan Crisis: Statements (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: The Minister should not worry as I am not going down a particular avenue but I just want to refer to the vote of confidence in him two weeks ago. When I spoke on the motion of confidence in him, I meant, with full, heartfelt sincerity, that he had gone the extra miles during the Afghan crisis, particularly in respect of a family who live just 100 m from my home. I refer to his taking calls...

Housing for All: Statements (Resumed) (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: 4 o’clock I am delighted that Housing for All has finally been published. Now, the real work gets under way. Fianna Fáil in government always had a track record of building houses and ensuring that the most marginalised people in society are looked after. We again see that at the centre of Government in Housing for All. I am glad that the Department, led by the Minister,...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Some weeks ago the Government approved a transfer of Shannon Heritage sites out of the Shannon Group to local authorities in the mid west. This was a positive development. A lengthy due diligence process is under way, which we thought would end around 31 December and which could now run until March. In that interim period from January to March, Shannon Heritage and Shannon Group are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise that I had a clash of meetings but I have been able to follow a good deal of the deliberations today. I thank all of our guests. There are quite a number of witnesses today and it is good to see them participate in this meeting. I will first turn to the Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, and specifically to Dr. Nolan. Over the past 18 months or so, I have noticed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Maybe I differ from Ms Farrell on this but for a person who is experiencing a lot of pain and anguish daily with regard to their health concerns, I think CBD is something else that is worth trying. I hold this view. This is the reason I went in to buy it. That is the positive of it. When I was in the store, however, I felt the retail assistant was giving advice over and above what should...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I will conclude with a few comments. It is a position I have held for a number of years. We need to have a national debate on cannabis overall. It is a fact that in many homes and many social outlets in Ireland people consume cannabis. As a society we have chosen to ignore this for a long time. I lived in Belgium and in Holland for some time where the drug is regulated by the state...

I join others in congratulating Pádraig Ó Céidigh on taking up his role as chairman of the Shannon Group. It is a very positive appointment. We finally have someone who understands aviation.

Vote 29 - Communications
Vote 31 - Transport (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Within the region and among those who work in aviation, there is an appetite among the big stakeholders for a shake-up of the board. To be clear, I commend and compliment what Mary Considine is doing as chief executive, but sometimes a few new players can help to reinvigorate a board. I am sure Pádraig Ó Céidigh and Mary Considine will complement each other. My point is just...

Vote 29 - Communications
Vote 31 - Transport (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. Regarding aviation overall, there is a need for a number of interventions. It is going to be one of the last sectors to experience a post-Covid recovery. A number of interventions have been made. Fianna Fáil was very respectful of the coalition of parties in government but there is also delineation between parties. We put forward a submission paper with some...

Vote 31 - Transport (29 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I agree with the Minister that the growth needs to be regionally balanced. He signed off on the Limerick northern distributor road project at the start of this year. It is making huge headway, as the Chairman can attest to. It straddles both of our constituencies. It is a shining light in what has been a few dull months nationally and in the mid-west. It is a major infrastructural...
