We are very anxious on this. Is the Minister progressing rapid antigen...

Cathal Crowe: ...happen. As a former primary schoolteacher, I fear for the sensitive data of many schools on Windows XP and Windows 7. Tusla files could potentially get out there.

Private Security Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: ...have undertaken certain exposé stories on some of these private security firms and the backgrounds of some of these individuals.

Cathal Crowe: ...if that stress was taken away from them. If a child is able to learn Irish, then they should plough on, and I support them in doing so. It was said 20 or 30 years ago that one needed Irish to become a garda or a teacher. That is codswallop. If a child is suffering from stress and does not want to go to school because learning the language is too much for them, then the exemption...

Covid-19: Statements (24 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...done major damage to the rural model of pub. I hope that when level 5 restrictions are eased in a week or so pubs can be considered. We passed legislation in the House in the summer to allow An Garda Síochána to raid and sanction pubs and take the licence away if the pub is flouting the rules in place. The choice at the moment will be between drinking in a safe controlled...

Community Safety and Preventing Crime: Statements (18 Nov 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I understand that a pay freeze is currently in place for An Garda Síochána but reforms continue to be rolled out.

Brexit and Business: Statements (7 Oct 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ..., I noticed at Kill, County Kildare a tailback about 4 km or 5 km long on the opposite side of the motorway with all three lanes fully backlogged with traffic.

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2020)

Cathal Crowe: ...Justice for not transposing the fourth EU directive. It is vital that we pass this Bill without too much delay so that we do not expose the State to further financial penalties.

We have long known about drug mules, but we now have a new phraseology around money...

Cathal Crowe: ...of Covid, then Members of this House should be showing leadership on all fronts and following the rules that we expect the public to follow. I fully support the Bill before us.
