Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Good Friday Agreement (22 Feb 2017)

Seán Crowe: Is the Minister concerned about the fact the Secretary of State, Mr. Brokenshire, is giving political cover on this issue? His remarks are a poke in the eye to Irish speakers. It is great for Arlene Foster to come out with remarks along the lines that people are entitled to use the Irish language. However, she is the architect of blocking recognition of the language and the British...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Joint Sitting with Joint Committee on European Union Affairs
First Vice-President of the European Commission, Mr. Frans Timmermans: Discussion (21 Feb 2017)

Seán Crowe: I wish to comment on Mr. Timmermans's opening remarks about the Irish recovery. Many of the households who are watching the proceedings have not experienced that recovery. We do not have as high a youth unemployed rate as that instanced by Mr. Timmermans, but what is unfortunate is that our young people from towns and villages are leaving our shores and that is why our youth unemployment...

Brexit and Special Designation for the North: Motion [Private Members] (15 Feb 2017)

Seán Crowe: Sinn Féin's support of a vote for Britain to remain in the EU was not an endorsement of how the EU is currently structured or of how it operates. We are quite clearly critical of the EU and spend a lot of time inside and outside of this House, as people know, criticising it and the way in which it operates. However, placing an external border is not a solution. Popular protests at...

The Minister of State has mentioned some of...

US Executive Order on Immigration: Statements (15 Feb 2017)

Seán Crowe: It may be obvious but the selection and subsequent election of Donald Trump has created much concern within the USA and throughout the world.

These nasty and mean comments concerned and outraged many decent and fair-minded individuals throughout the world. Most...

US Executive Order on Immigration: Statements (15 Feb 2017)

Seán Crowe: It is correct to call it his early wall-building. For many watching the earlier events and the election it was a case of bluster and bad hair. Some passed him off as a harmless charlatan. As the election campaign developed and people saw what was behind the individual and what he was saying, many became frightened. Like many other groups, Sinn Féin is completely opposed to these...
