Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Infrastructure: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I confirm I am in the convention centre. I have a few brief questions. My first question is for Mr. Carvalho. I am interested in the fixed wireless option given that everyone has a mobile phone in Ireland. Very few do not have one and some even have two. They are to be found in every household. In terms of the 4G and 5G signal, Mr. Carvalho was correct in saying there is pretty good...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Infrastructure: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I particularly want to hone in on that last point. It is one that I have raised a few times at committee meetings in recent months. A co-location policy was introduced in Ireland nine or ten years ago, through which there was to be a decent roll-out of mobile phone masts nationwide to ensure that signal would be maximised. However, that principle has been abandoned by the sector and the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Infrastructure: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: My final question is for Mr. Fitzpatrick. I hope he will forgive me for going a little off topic. Mr. Fitzpatrick is from the National Space Centre and he is most welcome. As I understand it, Ireland has been affiliated with the European Space Agency, ESA, since 1975. We embraced it early on. At that stage, we probably did not have much of a notion, as a country, as to where we were...

Cathal Crowe: I confirm that I am in the convention centre. I thank the witnesses for their contributions. I wish to make a few comments. I have read the opening statement and briefing note.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: National Action Plan for Childminding 2021-2028: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I get that there is a need for a structure and regulation. However, the worry I have is that women in villages who have minded children all their lives very adeptly, and with love and care, may look at this and decide that it is time for them to leave the stage. That is a major concern for me. To move things on a small bit, the discussion we are having here aligns to the home help sector....

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (30 Jun 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I am happy to speak in favour of the Land Development Agency Bill. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, has really taken the lead since he came into the Department.

There are a few important details in the Bill we...
