Cathal Crowe: ...the maintenance, repair and operations, MRO, sector, which is a significant part of the aviation economy. It is very large in my constituency of Clare, around Shannon Airport, and also quite large in Cork and in the hinterland of Dublin Airport.

Cathal Crowe: ..., but is it aware that some of its members continue to be outliers and have been passed over in the chain on command? I saw with great interest about two weeks ago that Bantry General Hospital in west Cork was a poster boy for vaccination. It had gone through all its staff and had started calling in the local GPs. The mid-west does not appear to be at that point. Will Ms Ní...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Update (29 Jan 2021)

Cathal Crowe: ...Cowan of the University Limerick Hospitals Group, but still we have no certainty as to when they will get vaccinated. Elsewhere in the country, I saw the other evening that Bantry hospital in Cork vaccinated everyone.

Covid-19 (Health): Statements and Questions and Answers (13 Jan 2021)

Cathal Crowe: ...out. With regard to vaccinations for GPs, in Clare, we are watching how GPs in other counties are getting the all-important Covid jab. In recent days, I have seen how Bantry General Hospital in Cork was bringing in GPs from the local area to inject them with the Covid vaccine and put them safely back into the community. This is not happening in County Clare, where GPs are being told it...

Covid-19 (Health): Statements and Questions and Answers (13 Jan 2021)

Cathal Crowe: We see other hospital groups, such as that in west Cork, bringing in GPs but it is not happening in Clare. They will have to wait an awfully long time. I know it is an operational issue but I ask the Minister to look at it. With regard to vaccinations reaching hospital groups, we were all delighted to see vaccinations been rolled out in Dublin in recent weeks but it took two and a half...

Cathal Crowe: ...the sky. They would also attribute much of it to procrastination in fully implementing the traffic light system. I have heard what the Minister already told the committee. Given that Shannon, Cork and Dublin airports have clearly indicated they have the capacity and just need ministerial approval to set up their testing at airports, why have we had the procrastination? Why was it...

Cathal Crowe: ...be addressed. The aviation task force also recommended the State should provide airports with what is referred to as a common fixed sum per passenger. This is particularly needed in Shannon and Cork airports so that they are financially viable and can compete in attracting airlines. I ask the Minister to comment on some of those points. There is a significant imbalance in Ireland....

To follow up on the point made by our Chairman, in the week of the announcement of the traffic light system, Ryanair announced the winter closure of its Shannon and Cork bases. In the week the new regime begins, it will withdraw from flights. It is important it is said, and we heard it in the last comment, that this is based on a lack of bookings. Two...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (27 Oct 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...are somewhat misleading. The members will be aware we have county boundaries. We have subregional boundaries as well, such as the mid-west. It is important to establish that. For Shannon and Cork airports, it matters a great deal. We have seen throughout Europe that Covid has now almost caught up in rural and urban areas, but the trend for many months was that Covid thrived in urban...

I see it as a stepping stone in helping the airport through these lean...

Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (23 Sep 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...pathway for bringing it forward was there in itself. In the second quarter of this year, 120 passengers passed through Shannon Airport. That contrasted with 808 through Kerry, 7,800 through Cork Airport and 155,000 through Dublin Airport. Shannon accounted for 0.07% of all inbound air passengers into the State. That is a dramatic and stark fact which shows Shannon's position. It...
