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

Cathal Crowe: ...being put out there as someone who is just unwilling to work or being awkward, tricky or lazy. These are words that have been used to me. To use an example from a totally different realm, in An Garda Síochána if people are injured at work, the organisation finds a role for them. They are brought back to work as quickly as they are able, but they may not be back on the front...

Cathal Crowe: ...a workers' point of view, would the union welcome a discreet text system that would go straight to carriage A so the agent knows? The train is stopping someplace every 20 minutes, so surely the Garda could be at the next station to get the troublemaker off the train.

Cathal Crowe: ...to take my own life as the head of the family. I am mentally murdered by it all." This is a letter that I and Paul Williams the crime journalist have been given by one of the 108 members of An Garda Síochána currently suspended. There is a culture of mistrust, unreasonable discipline and disrespect for the rank and file members that is permeating from the top down. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann (24 Jan 2024)

Cathal Crowe: Yes. It would be great if there was a text facility on board so you could say there was trouble in carriage D or if An Garda Síochána need to intervene at the next station, that there would be a more discreet way of doing it. It is pretty difficult to make a call or to get a message out of a train when you are shuttling along down the track.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have a question for the Minister for Justice. Thankfully, that ridiculous vote last week is out of the way and we can get back to focusing on Garda resources. I have two questions-----

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2023)

Cathal Crowe: There are approximately 113 gardaí currently suspended which, to put it into perspective, is approximately half of the total cohort of gardaí in my own county. I am sure some of them have done awful things while others have done very minor things but at the very least natural justice should prevail and the investigations, led by the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Rising Veterinary Costs on Dog Ownership and Surrenders and Abandoned Dogs: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...are on the loose, local authorities and the Departments spend a few days trying to figure out if they are on public or private land, whether we can go in and, if we can, who should go in. The Garda receives calls at the same time. There seems to be a breakdown for a few days as we try to identify the responsible body. There are different sections and legislation. There should be a...

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

Cathal Crowe: ...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 different lenses. At the moment, 113 gardaí are suspended throughout the country. Some 130 gardaí in the Limerick division were interrogated. Their laptops and mobile phones were seized. This all relates to the squaring...

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

Cathal Crowe: ...courts is in single digits and therein is the problem. I can assure the Chair I will not comment on any court case. The point I am making is that the number suspended equates to half of the total Garda cohort in my county. One can imagine the difference having 113 gardaí on the street somewhere - be it Ennis, Dublin or anywhere in Ireland - would make in terms of policing, instead...

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

Cathal Crowe: I want to conclude by thanking the Garda Commissioner. I see it more as a witch hunt which has not drawn to a conclusion. A person would be acquitted quicker for murder than for carrying out their duties as a garda. Just move it on. If they have done something wrong, dismiss them and if they have not, let them return to the force. It does not make any sense that something would be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion (29 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...on the buses recording to devices on the buses or to a network controlled from one of the depots? Given that Dublin Bus saw things kicking off in the city, what should have occurred? The Garda Commissioner is in another room saying no one could have foreseen how much the events exploded in a matter of a couple of hours, but, in hindsight, should the buses have been where they were at...
