Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary)
(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister and her officials for being here this evening and for sharing documents in advance of the meeting. Free schoolbooks at primary level has been a fantastic initiative. The Minister is to be congratulated on it. It has been largely successful. A concern I have based on 16 years at the top of the classroom is that each year the large publishing companies, which we will...

Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary)
(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: My next question relates to school transport, which others have mentioned. We finally resolved one of our local issues this week, thankfully. The solutions to this do not lie with the Department, if the Minister does not mind me saying so. Earlier today the transport committee had Stephen Kent from Bus Éireann in. When a problem arises in a constituency office, you learn as you work...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary)
(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I briefly spoke with the Minister in respect of autism classes. I can think of two schools in my county, and there are many examples throughout the country. I respect it is more in the jurisdiction of the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan. Ballycar National School and Kilmihil National School are in east and west Clare but could be anywhere. Both aspire to open ASD classes. An ASD class...

(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise for using Deputy Higgins as an example. She is a Dublin Deputy and I am a Clare Deputy. Our situations are not comparable. Her neighbouring school could be 1 km or 1.5 km up the road, but in Clare - and I am sure it is the same in County Kerry, which the Minister represents – the neighbouring school, certainly in west Clare, could be 10 km or 11 km away. Children and...

Cathal Crowe: There are many positives, I should say.

Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary)
(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Thanks, Minister. You are very good. I next ask about Ukrainian enrolment and, to a lesser degree, international protection. Among international protection applicants there tend to be more adults but there are a huge amount of Ukrainian children coming in and schools have to be commended for welcoming them with open arms and looking after them superbly. It is wonderful how they are...

(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have almost finished. I will ask about two of the Minister's positive initiatives. She has just answered my question about the solar panel scheme so I do not need to labour the point. It will open tomorrow. I am looking forward to that. I commend the Minister on leading on that. In-school counselling has been rolled out on a pilot basis in many counties. I hope the Minister will tell...

Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary)
(29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister for all of her engagement. The real point of everything that I am pressing is the need for a degree of flexibility with regard to those ASD classes. The schools that I have referenced are Ballycar National School and Kilmihil National School, but there are many more throughout the country. To my mind, it cannot be so rigid that they can only take six, and if there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: My name is there as well.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to launch straight into my questions, if possible. I thank the witnesses for being here. First, I do not agree with calls for Commissioner Harris or the Minister to be sacked or to have to resign. I think those making such calls are cashing in on tragedy and chaos. However, I think the effectiveness of the role of Commissioner merits critique and indeed some criticism under...
