Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (14 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I will move on because my time is limited. I was a primary school teacher 16 months ago and I taught in a school with a Catholic ethos. I had no problem with that. That was my job and I did it gladly every day. In one of the lessons we used to teach what the word "church" meant. It means people. When, therefore, the Religious Sisters of Charity, or any other church group, refers to...

Cathal Crowe: I confirm I am in Leinster House. I thank the Minister of State for being here. Credit is due to him and his team because recent weeks have been dogged by almost daily speculation that this would not happen.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (14 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have a few other questions. When this was first being designed there was just the international travel dimension to it but now it very much looks like it will also have a purpose here on the domestic front.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (14 Jul 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State. What he said is logical and sensible. However, it is at odds with what we were told yesterday, that this would be at departure gates.
