Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure and Small Town and Villages Growth Programme: Discussion (23 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I asked a lot of questions of our guests and I do not expect them to have the minutiae on these issues with them but I would very much appreciate if I could be emailed concrete details in the coming days. People cannot be expected to put up with fire trucks coming in to fill up water canisters or with odour suppressants being applied. It is not a modern, 21st century network in my locality....

Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Acting Chairman. I came in at the tail-end of the previous contribution, which Deputy Mattie McGrath over-personalised. I do not think that is necessary. This debate and the work of the House should be above that. We are here today to deal with important legislation that has many positive elements to it. The personal charges that are thrown across sometimes happen too often...

Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I will conclude that introductory remark by saying that I have the utmost respect for my colleague, Deputy Mattie McGrath. We share a corridor on which we are neighbours but I take exception to seeing personal stuff being thrown into the Chamber. It is below where we need to be in terms of the quality of debate on a particularly important matter. This is an important Bill that provides...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Mental Health Services: Discussion (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Chairman. I confirm that I am in Leinster House, LH2000. There are two points I wish to raise, the first of which is on dieticians. One might say that this does not come into the realm of mental health but it does. I was contacted around this time last year by a number of parents in my constituency to say that eating disorders were spiking again among young people and that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Mental Health Services: Discussion (22 Sep 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cyber Security Centre Review: Discussion (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I do not know if the microphones are working. Will the Minister of State build capacity with other European nations? Ours is a small country. This is not a bottomless pit into which we can keep throwing money. Will he build cybersecurity capacity with other European nations? I do not think we are neutral when it comes to cybersecurity. We are when it comes to our armed forces, but here...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cyber Security Centre Review: Discussion (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I ask for the Chairperson's forbearance. I have just one other minor question to put to the Minister of State. Eighteen months ago, before my election to the Dáil, I was working in an outpost of government, namely, a small rural school - not too small, I should say. We fancied ourselves as a growing school getting a bit bigger. We were growing all the time.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cyber Security Centre Review: Discussion (22 Sep 2021)

Cathal Crowe: Small village, big school. What we are talking about here is essential command of cybersecurity, whereby the Government will build resilience, and rightly so. However, when you get out beyond the HSE, the Houses of Parliament and all the Departments based here in Dublin, there are schools dotted right throughout the country, local healthcare centres managed by the HSE and small rural Garda...
