- Regional Airports and Aviation: Statements (17 Jun 2021)
Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, for engaging with us in this discussion and for her attendance this morning at the meeting of the select transport committee. It has been an unbelievably difficult year for all 140,000 or so employees in the aviation sector and the many spin-off sectors that lean heavily on it. In the past week, we had the devastating announcement for Stobart...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Select Committee
Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2021) Cathal Crowe: I have been following the meeting remotely but am now in Leinster House. I have followed every minute of it. In principle, I have no difficulty with a higher borrowing ceiling being permitted. I have no issue but I have questions along the lines of those of Deputy O'Rourke's. Does this higher borrowing ceiling reflect Shannon Airport coming back under the DAA umbrella again or under the...
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Select Committee
Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2021) Cathal Crowe: When the Minister of State tabled this amendment dealing with a higher borrowing threshold, did she and the Department do it on the understanding that the DAA currently constitutes Dublin and Cork airports or is there any thinking to the effect that this may also encompass Shannon Airport at some point in future? The number of political voices commenting on this matter has increased so is...
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Select Committee
Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2021) Cathal Crowe: If I may, I might reply to the comments of Deputy Carey and the Minister of State. I do not believe that has been fully been the case over the past 15 months. Shannon is quite unique when compared with Dublin and Cork airports because, as the Minister of State knows well, it encompasses several entities. There are heritage sites and Shannon Commercial Properties, etc. One of the big...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Select Committee
Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2021) Cathal Crowe: A couple of points have been made. The IAA has a major presence in County Clare. Many of its workers and former workers are based in the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton's, constituency. This superannuation dispute has been a long-running saga. As Deputy Carey said, it does not seem to be any closer to being resolved. A memorandum has issued from the Minister of State's Department to...
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Select Committee
Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2021) Cathal Crowe: I have received the amendments. IALPA has also been in touch with me. I do not believe what is being put forward here materially changes the spirit of the Bill. To have a licence holders' forum would be a constructive thing. It would allow more voices in the room. I will be interested to hear the Minister of State's take on it but, certainly, from what I have read of it, and in my...
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Select Committee
Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (17 Jun 2021) Cathal Crowe: On all these amendments, IALPA met me as well and I listened to its members. They put these issues forward to the Department but I do not think they have received replies. The Department got these amendments at quite short notice. This legislation will not be enacted today. It is very important the Minister of State, with her officials, facilitate a meeting with Evan Cullen of IALPA and...
