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

Cathal Crowe: I will speak to it. This is an interesting amendment and I will wait to hear what the Minister has to say. What I would really like to say, and I need to disclose that I am-----

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...

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

European Year of Skills: Statements (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the opportunity to speak in this debate. I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, for the work he is doing in his Department to lead on the strategy. It is essential that we widen and deepen our skills space here in Ireland. I note that the European Year of Skills centres on the whole idea of reskilling 6 million people in the area of digital and green...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the mayor of Ennis, Clare Colleran Molloy; Councillors Paul Murphy and Mary Howard; Carmel Kirby and all the Ennis 2040 team; and especially the students who have come here today from Coláiste Muire and St. Flannan’s College in Ennis to spell out their vision for Ennis 2040. It is a sad irony that, on a day when so many young people from Ennis have come to Dublin, a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: That is no problem. I am not a member of this committee but I am interested in its work. We farmed at home in Clare. We do not do this often but sometimes it is nice to namecheck someone on the Dáil record. I refer to our local vets in the mid-west, including Kevin McNamara who is fantastic, compassionate, helpful and everything else. I think highly of vets. We hear repeatedly from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I asked about UL, but Dr. Wall has answered all my questions. What the witnesses pass on to the Minister is very important. Last year, a memo about elective hospitals went to the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly - it was a whole different committee and a whole different realm - and the memo pretty much spelled out that it should be Dublin, Cork and Galway. Lo and behold, the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise. Usually, I am present for the full meeting, but 100 things are being juggled this afternoon. I have read some of the opening statements and have a few short questions, the first of which will be for Mr. O'Connell of Dublin Port. I wish to ask him about the port's berthage and its scope for welcoming more cruise ships and large inward tourism. My next question will largely...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: On large ships, and I know Dún Laoghaire has a role to play in this as well, does Mr. O'Connell feel the capital is missing out by not having capacity? Is there a future plan to go further out from East Wall or any of the farther out locations of the port to examine if there is capacity to build something new?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to address this question to Mr. O'Connell and then address Mr. Keating. Any time their counterparts who manage airports come before the committee, they always tell us about their environmental credentials. We often hear about how aviation is moving to sustainable aviation fuel, SAF. There is a similar trend but it is not progressing as well in the maritime industry. It is examining...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: That is good to hear. I wish to pose a few questions to Mr. Keating from Shannon Foynes Port Authority. There is the possibility of a lot of anchored wind turbines on the east coast but it will be floating wind energy off Loop Head and Moneypoint, for example. The port authority, of course, has skin in the game and it will, I hope, be lucrative for the company and all working and on the...

Cathal Crowe: Apologies.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I might get to ask Mr. Keating one more question in my remaining time. I hope to come in again in a while, so I will have questions for other witnesses. I am more au fait, as spokesperson on aviation, with things that take to the sky. Our airport managers have a European-wide network which they feed into and discuss policy with, etc. Is there something similar for ports? Some months ago,...
