Seanad: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (19 Dec 2018)

Gerard Craughwell: I do not intend to take much of the Minister of State's time. Like my colleagues, Senators Buttimer, Colm Burke and Lombard, I fully support everything he is trying to do in Cork. The negotiations in Cork were difficult and there are probably still difficulties there. Over time, I hope those difficulties will iron themselves out as they have in Limerick and Waterford. For the most part, I...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Jun 2022)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Oct 2022)

Gerard Craughwell: I am well aware that he was here last week. There are times when other Ministers are here and Senator Buttimer is not. I was away on business and the Senator can like it or lump it. The Minister needs to come to the House to explain. The story only broke in the last few days.

Seanad: Houses of the Oireachtas (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Dec 2021)

Gerard Craughwell: I just want to say that I agree with Senator Buttimer. I do not believe we should divide the House on this. I do not believe that anyone on the Government benches in any way disagrees with the arguments that are being put forward. It would be wrong to force a vote on it. The message is being driven home loud and clear.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (5 Oct 2021)

Gerard Craughwell: I thank the Minister of State for being willing to listen. The Senator hit the nail on the head in saying we are talking about pilots first. Anybody who has watched the programme Senator Buttimer adverted to, on air accident investigations, will realise flying is about a number of small steps that must all be taken in the correct order. A pilot must not be afraid to report. There cannot...

Gerard Craughwell: .... We have to put money into Aer Lingus and Ryanair. We can do it one of two ways. We can either grant them money or get them back in business carrying passengers. I am sorry I offended Senator Buttimer on the matter of international travel.

Seanad: Covid-19 (Aviation): Statements (26 Feb 2021)

Gerard Craughwell: ...of State is welcome to the House. It is good to see a fellow county woman here. She will be aware that there are 143,000 people involved in the airline industry here. As my colleague, Senator Buttimer, said and as the Minister of State pointed out, the industry is now on its knees. Not unlike Senator Buttimer and, I am sure, others in the House, I have been contacted by everybody from...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (5 Oct 2021)

Gerard Craughwell: ...colleague. There should be representation from Munster, Galway or Connacht on any airport authority. We need to have a national view, and all laughing and joking aside, I totally agree with Senator Buttimer on this point. He has been advocating for this for some time now and I ask that the Minister of State take this point on board and have discussions with the DAA on this matter to...

Seanad: Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (17 Jan 2018)

Gerard Craughwell: ...when I think of some of the girls I knew growing up who had children. Once they had a child, they were called a whore because they were not married. Let get real here. As my colleague, Senator Buttimer, said, and I do not always agree with him, let us deal with this in a respectful way. Let us have a respectful, calm debate. I do not want people from the United States contacting me or...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (8 Jun 2016)

Gerard Craughwell: ...arrangements work out over the next few days. I have no qualms whatsoever with the other nominee other than the fact that I have personal experience of Senator O'Donovan, whom I wish well. I wish Senator Buttimer well as Leader of the House. I have enjoyed many a joust with him on Twitter and I am looking forward to jousting with him in this House. He has a tough act to follow in...
