UK Withdrawal from the EU: Statements (26 Sep 2017)

Seán Crowe: We have probably misread the British view on Brexit. Certainly, there was a view across the board that David Cameron would deliver on his proposals. He failed to deliver and is a man of the past. Last week, there was a significant build-up to Theresa May's speech in Florence. While the speech was loaded with rhetoric, it seemed very short on specific detail. That is frustrating and...

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (26 Sep 2017)

Seán Crowe: There is nothing more frustrating than getting an answer that refers to technical issues or all sorts of problems. I take what the Minister is saying at face value. I think prioritising schools like this is the right direction for us to take as a society. As I said in my opening statement, these children face challenges because they are impaired by their disabilities, so society should not...

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (26 Sep 2017)

Seán Crowe: My colleagues have outlined the situation for the 74 children. The school covers four constituencies, including my own with 12 children coming from the Tallaght area. As other speakers have said, it is not about lobbying for a constituency school; the Minister gets those letters every day of the week and I understand the pressure he is under. This school is unique in the difficulties that...

Topical Issue Debate: Catalan Referendum (21 Sep 2017)

Seán Crowe: It is not the first time that an Irish republican said that what happens in Spain affects us all. Clearly, the idea of standing idly by and watching what is unfolding in Catalonia is unacceptable. The Minister of State's response is deeply disappointing. I do not think it reflects the views of people in Ireland. Yesterday, we saw heavily armed police try to frustrate attempts to have a...

Topical Issue Debate: Catalan Referendum (21 Sep 2017)

Seán Crowe: We all have our different angles in regard to this. In recent years, millions of people have marched on the streets of Barcelona to demand, in a very colourful and dignified way, the right to vote in a legally binding and democratic referendum on independence from Spain. Just last week, on 11 September, Catalonia's national day, 1.5 million people joined the annual pro-referendum march. ...
