Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Estates management is a key. The Minister has just spoken about building new 96-bed blocks. In the mid-west region, and this is probably replicated nationwide, there are a lot of public healthcare facilities lying idle. Inisgile is a 16-bed mental health facility located in my home parish of Parteen that briefly opened as a vaccination centre for Covid. In 2019, it was fully refitted and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: A letter from the Minister could sort out much of that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Regarding that Inisgile situation, it has 16 bedrooms, is fully en suiteand fully kitted out. We have health, housing and refugee crises going on. It is unforgivable that it has been like this for three and a half years. It is not the Minister's fault because he would not be aware of all these accommodation everywhere in the country. I ask him please to intervene and speak with estates...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: If the Minister does not mind, I will interject as I have other questions. One of the matters he did not address was the protocol change in respect of the medical assessment unit and the beefing-up of local injuries units in the mid-west region. The next logical step is to reverse what I have referred to as a failure. The Minister has not quite gone to the same extent with his language but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Sectoral Emissions Ceiling: Discussion (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I congratulate the Leas-Chathaoirleach on his election. I thank Ms Donnelly for her contribution. I read her opening statement and as often happens when a witness comes before the committee, we do a bit of CV research. Ms Donnelly's CV is very impressive indeed. I note that she was director of renewables in the Directorate-General for Energy, DG ENER, in the European Commission in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Sectoral Emissions Ceiling: Discussion (26 Apr 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I might try to squeeze in one last question because the clock is against me. I agree with Ms Donnelly. We all want to make seismic changes, but if a person is thinking about changing the car at the moment, in some parts of the country the infrastructure is not there to do so. You might go to the forecourt and admire a beautiful electric car that will tick all the boxes it should tick but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Sectoral Emissions Ceiling: Discussion (26 Apr 2023)

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. In particular, where new building projects are happening, the Minister needs to insist that accommodation is co-located with major new builds for nurses and doctors who work in a hospital environment. I recently tabled a parliamentary question to ascertain where there was old nursing accommodation that is not being used in each hospital group....
