- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Feb 2024)
Gerard Craughwell: I, too, welcome the Estonian ambassador. I note for the record the amount of work she has done in supporting an initiative I launched approximately two years ago in the area of cybersecurity, including awareness and training. The assistance we have had from Tallinn has been second to none. I thank her very much for her efforts. It is interesting that we have members of the European Court...

Gerard Craughwell: They might look at it, too. We might bring it to them there. My apologies. The information leaflet for the referendum arrived in my house yesterday. I am absolutely disgusted by it. It gives no clear indication of what is involved. Minister after Minister has gone out telling the people about what it is going to do for families, yet the legal advice is that it will cause more confusion...
- Seanad: Second Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Statements (22 Feb 2024)
Gerard Craughwell: The Minister of State and the ambassadors of Ukraine and Lithuania are welcome to the House. The Ukraine war has been ongoing for two years now and we constantly see some images, but let us be honest, the Ukraine war has slipped down in media importance, if you like. We are seeing more from Gaza now than from Ukraine and one wonders whether we swing to the latest, greatest war, wherever it...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Petition on Justice and Marine Safety: Discussion (22 Feb 2024)
Gerard Craughwell: Mr. Gaffney and his delegation are very welcome. I have seen many presentations at Oireachtas committees over the past ten years. I have never seen so much misery in four pages. I cannot begin to understand how Mr. Gaffney must feel. I lost a business 30- or 40-odd years ago, but I was able to turn the page and move on. There is no page to turn here. What he is coping with is...

Gerard Craughwell: Councillor Leonard and Councillor Joe Behan have both been on to me about Mr. Gaffney's case for a few weeks. Does this mean his career in fishing is over?

Gerard Craughwell: I presume he still stands several million euro in the red.
- Committee on Public Petitions: Petition on Justice and Marine Safety: Discussion (22 Feb 2024)
Gerard Craughwell: I need to go to another meeting. I support this family 100%. This is too big an issue for a family to fight and the State should step in. The Department of Transport is not the easiest in the world to deal with, based on my personal experience. I am sure Deputy Brady will have far more questions to ask Mr. Gaffney. I really wish him well and I am very sorry he finds himself in this...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Feb 2024)
Gerard Craughwell: I, too, send my condolences to the family of Michael O'Regan. I met him only a few days before he passed away at SuperValu in Ballinteer. He was as feisty as ever and in great form. Everything the Cathaoirleach said about him epitomises the man he was. He would always stop and have a chat in the corridors of Leinster House. Reading the British newspapers this morning, I must conclude...
