Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I support the Finance Bill because I believe it reinforces the Government's support for the economy against the challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic and the continued risk of a no-deal Brexit. The Finance Bill 2020 sets out the legislative provisions to give effect to the tax measures announced in budget 2021. Clearly the pandemic continues to provide us with an unparalleled economic and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 and Review of Budget 2021: Minister for Health (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise to the Ministers for not being here earlier as I was at another committee meeting but I was following this meeting online. I wish to put several questions and I will put the first to the Minister, Deputy Donnelly. In Clare and the wider mid-west, encompassing Limerick, we have Shannon Doc, an out-of-hours GP service operating out of five centres. It is a vital service and all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 and Review of Budget 2021: Minister for Health (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: Thank you, Minister. I want to fit in another question. Some members of the volunteer support group, SOUND, for people who have developed narcolepsy and cataplexy, which they claim occurred as a result of being given the Pandemrix vaccine some years ago, are following these proceedings. The Minister's Department is quite familiar with the issue, and his predecessors, including the...

Cathal Crowe: Sure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Covid-19 and Review of Budget 2021: Minister for Health (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I will certainly do that and thank the Minister. My final question is for the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. As a former school teacher up to February, I believe this suggestion would be really worthwhile. We do not want to overburden teachers and they are burdened at the moment. It is quite difficult for them. It would be no harm between now and Christmas for each teacher in each...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I was in the committee meeting earlier and I had to go to the Joint Committee on Health, but I have been following most of the proceedings here. It was devastating for everyone in the mid-west and the west to hear just a week ago that Aer Lingus and Ryanair were scaling back and pulling some of their winter flights from Shannon and in the case of Aer Lingus, not resuming flights there until...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I feel it is rather late coming together and airlines have not been able to fully plan a schedule in advance, which has certainly hampered Shannon. One of the recommendations of the aviation task force was to look at the financing of Shannon Airport. It is in dire straits and is losing a hell of a lot of money every week. There is a gross imbalance in aviation with 155,000 passengers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Nov 2020)

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2020.
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised) (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to pose some questions on broadband. The Minister is correct to say the need for high-quality Internet has never been greater with many people now working from home, and third-level students having to study from home as well. As I see it, there are a number of problems. First, there is a problem with physically running cables underground or carrying them overground as the case may...

Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised) (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: If we could move beyond the quarterly generation of postcodes to an automatic system of generation, that would be more efficient.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2020.
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised) (4 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I would also like to get county-level, localised detail rather than amber coloured maps. People want to know when it is coming to their village or when it is going beyond the crossroads up to their road. That is the level of detail we would love to see. We know it is happening but we only know it is happening when we pass an installation crew going down a road in trucks. There is no...
