Digital Services (Levy) Bill 2024: Second Stage (19 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...away with saying these things on the street, so how can you get away with it from behind the anonymity of your phone or laptop screen. It is absurd and wrong. The sooner we have age verification, the better. I spent long enough in a classroom prior to my election to the Dáil. It was alarming how many youngsters were on Facebook and Instagram at the time. They have now moved on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...- that is a capped price - and €16.50 per day in the express red and €14 per day in the holiday blue car parks. From a consumer point of view, are they not huge prices? People still have to go a long way to the terminals. When we want people to fly in and out of Ireland - we all have certain preferences where they might fly in and out of - at the very least, from a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...the whole process. This is because there is inevitably going to be an appeal to An Bord Pleanála and possibly a judicial review. Many residents contact our committee. There is going to be a long campaign here. Although both suggestions the representatives made technically could happen with some relative ease in the Houses of the Oireachtas, they would only provide a framework...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Passenger Cap at Dublin Airport on Ryanair's Business and Operations: Ryanair (12 Jun 2024)

Cathal Crowe: When I look at the Ryanair route map, I see that its reach into Europe is extending. Some of its routes are up to four and a half or five hours long. Surely it is now time for Ryanair to start considering transatlantic routes. It had a plan once but scrapped it. Maybe such routes are not on the horizon, but some airports in upstate New York offer cheap landing fees that would be...

Delivering Universal Healthcare: Statements (15 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...That will come out in due course. That work needs to begin in earnest. Mr. Justice Clarke's report is imminent and it will lead to the terms of reference being devised. We cannot delay too much longer on this. There is speculation that there could be a general election in the late autumn. Some say it could be March. I hope this work is completed by then so that the party the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána (15 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: .... To build on a point from earlier, it is essential for the force that there be a full definition of what this involves and how it works in a practical sense. I would say that someone who has long since passed out from Templemore probably needs some clarity from Garda headquarters in order that this aspect does not become a stick with which to beat the force. To follow on from what...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (2 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State. That meeting sounds very positive. Long ago I used to believe the budget was set each autumn but I know work on the new budget has already begun. It is positive the Minister of State has had those negotiations and talks. Even though we are talking about our country's older population, a comparison could be drawn with childcare at the other end of the age...

Cathal Crowe: ...High Court judgment, and outline how he will take steps to ensure that the benefits of 1951 scheme active members will be protected and maintained, and that 1951 scheme pensioners will be awarded their long-awaited pension increase without delay; if he will insist that CIÉ immediately complies with its legal obligations to appoint CIÉ board-nominated members to the statutory...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...committee, and it had an engagement this morning. I followed some of this debate, but not all of it. I apologise if I ask questions that have been asked. Like others, I know of some people with long Covid. One is a man in my local community who is involved in GAA coaching and plays golf the whole time. He came to one of my clinics approximately a fortnight ago in advance of today's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise if my next question was already covered. Where will this end up? Will it eventually be recognised as a lifelong disability? The people who contact our offices by phone or email or who come to our clinics say there was the immediate phase where they were unable to work. Now, they are at home trying to live normal lives but find themselves to be breathless, tired and suffering...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...is a three-month rollover backdated to 1 April, which is good. However, rollover after rollover will eventually run out. Dialogue needs to happen. Some people have, as Dr. Jeffrey stated, had long Covid for three and a half or four years. It is important that we start to use other terms like invalidity and disability. If we are down to a cohort of 120 people in the health services...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Anti-Social Behaviour on Public Transport: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...can text if the bathroom is dirty or something is wrong in the carriage or a window is broken, but you cannot text ahead. There is usually a customer service agent on carriage A, which could be a long way down. I remember during the height of Covid someone going berserk on the train and a few passengers went down, but the guy causing all the trouble could overhear us talking to this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...will meet most of our members as this day goes on. Currently, lung cancer screening is not part of the national strategy, but their concerns extend beyond that because of pulmonary fibrosis and long Covid. If there is lung cancer, people assume there is smoking or some hereditary issues there, but there are a lot more lung and pulmonary fibrosis issues that are also going through that...

Cathal Crowe: ...issues highlighted by the clinical reports he referenced. What are those issues and what can be addressed?
