Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 May 2023)

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I absolutely will. It is always important to embody the Irish language as much as we can. I am an organic farmer and want to disclose that on the record. It is important that there is a market for finished organic beef because at the moment, a large amount of people are entering the organic scheme and there is no finishing market for them. They are going to conventional sales. The...

Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement: Statements (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: While the Good Friday Agreement is a shared story for every citizen of this island, I acknowledge from this side of the House the role our party, Fianna Fáil, played in that period, and, in particular, our former leader Bertie Ahern.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have an unusual question. Today I have brought a petition from County Clare, which has been signed by 113 family descendants of the late Peadar Clancy, who was a great Irish patriot. These are the signatures of grand-nieces, grand-nephews, great-grand-nieces and great-grand-nephews. There is a Sinn Féin cumann in Ennis, County Clare, that uses his name without family consent. They...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (20 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister. When the protocol was introduced, it was quite positive. It was at a time when we are at an all-out crisis at UHL. The figure of 72 patients between Ennis and Nenagh hospitals is a combined figure. I would love to hear a figure for Ennis in particular because, in the first month following the protocol, we were still down to single-digit figures for how many were...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (20 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I do not blame the Minister for the woes of the mid-west health crisis. I blame certain decisions taken by previous governments, particularly the 2009 decision to reconfigure acute hospitals in the mid-west region to deliver centres of excellence that have never materialised. If someone had said 12 or 18 months on that we were working towards excellence that might have been credible, but we...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Healthcare Infrastructure Provision (20 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I will add to what previous speakers have said.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to raise the issue of the huge potential of offshore wind energy to bring Ireland to a more carbon-friendly place and to make sure we meet our international obligations. This will be very lucrative in its construction phase. We heard many people on the airwaves over the Easter recess saying that the Irish ports are not configured at this time to be able to build or tow into place the...
