Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: Statements (21 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: The debate follows an attempt to have a cross-party committee motion on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. I was one of the first to raise this at committee meetings, as I had concerns about it. It seems bizarre that the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, of which I am a member, has never discussed TTIP. The Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK Reform Negotiations: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: I will try not to repeat some of those points, but I raised the migration issue with the Minister of State. I apologise for repeating myself, but he stated at this meeting that it was one of the highest priorities on the agenda. Yesterday, we discussed the relocation of 160,000 people. To date, only 322 have been relocated across Europe. Hardly a weekend goes by in which 322 people do not...

Seán Crowe: Were the witnesses surprised by the agreement that came out of the Paris meeting? There had been suggestions that no leadership would be shown. Do they think that the chairing of the meetings by the French was helpful? We have seen some of the disastrous consequences of climate change, such as the flooding in Ireland, but that pales in comparison with what is happening in less developed...

European Council: Statements (19 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: Has the undemocratic nature of the Brexit been discussed with the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron? To date only 322 refugees have been resettled, meaning these humanitarian schemes are clearly failing. What solutions is the Government putting forward for this? Is there any idea of the number of refugees coming to Ireland in 2016? On the role of Turkey against the Kurds, along with...

European Council: Statements (19 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: I agree with some of Deputy Micheál Martin's opening remarks on this process. It would be helpful in the next Dáil, if we are returned, for us to know exactly what the Irish position is in many of the negotiations taking place. If the Taoiseach were to impart that information, it would help the discussion we are having. It would also be useful for the people at home who are...

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: Moore Street has a special place in the hearts of Irish people and it is vital that it be redeveloped in a manner worthy of its importance. The delays and negligence of successive Governments cannot be allowed to continue to damage and destroy the Moore Street terrace. The Minister's plan is minimalist and lacking in vision. It is an embarrassingly cobbled together bunch of ideas that...

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: I am proud of those who took part in the revolution of Easter Week 1916: the youth of Fianna na hÉireann, of which my grandfather was a member; the women in Cumann na mBan; the Volunteers; and the men and women of the Citizen Army. As one of those lucky people who knows a bit of the history of this country and this city, I am appalled by what is happening to the national monument and to...

Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jan 2016)

Seán Crowe: I will declare an interest, in that I have been on a trolley within the past 12 months. Attending the hospital probably saved my life.
