Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...or to work in an office in the city, there should be a higher tariff. It might decouple the malpractice going on there at the moment. When I eventually got on the train I met a guy sitting across from me from Cork. He too had missed his train because of the same problem in Cork. It is a problem that the Minister needs to get to grips with. We all want a modal shift. We are all...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Cathal Crowe: The trains to Dublin are very successful. They are full most mornings. It is great to see. The Cork to Dublin service picks up passengers from Limerick at Limerick Junction. It is really successful. There are two early morning direct services from Limerick to Dublin and there are only three carriages on that service. It is fine. I get on that service every Wednesday morning and I have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...has with the airlines, Mr. Jacobs said two things that are contradictory. One was in his written submission and one was not. He said sometimes he has to tell airlines they may have to look at Cork or Shannon. He then said that the airlines themselves make that decision. Is the DAA playing God to a point in deciding where airlines should go?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...Mr. Jacobs's job, which he is doing well, is to manage the DAA group, but we must look at aviation overall. His description of Dublin Airport as Ireland's airport is a little insulting given we have Cork Airport, of which he is also the head honcho, as well as Shannon, Knock, Donegal and Waterford airports, where there is very little happening. There is a whole network of airports in Ireland.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...where we have totally dismantled the current market share of the various airports but we certainly need to readjust it. We have 90% or thereabouts of flights going in and out through Dublin. Cork and Kerry airports, Shannon airport in my constituency, and Knock and Donegal airports are all vying for the remaining 10% market share. Dublin Airport's dominance, the 90% market share it...

Cathal Crowe: ..., County Clare to open the Clonlara flood defence system, for which we had campaigned for more than a decade. We are grateful to him and to his Department. The people in Midleton and elsewhere in Cork who have endured this awful flooding in the past week should be aware that the flood defences planned for our community took many years to deliver, not because of local objections, but...

Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Flood Risk Management (26 Oct 2023)

Cathal Crowe: 20. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will outline plans by the OPW to provide for flood relief works in County Cork in light of the recent catastrophic flooding there; and if he will provide an update on flood relief works continuing and planned for County Clare.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Decarbonisation Strategy for Aviation and Shipping Sectors: Minister of State at the Department of Transport (12 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...a passenger throughput of 1 million or lower. However, EU state aid rules allow us to fund airports that have a throughput of 3 million passengers or lower. Therefore, the ask of Shannon Airport, Cork Airport and Ireland West Airport Knock - the west of Ireland airports - is that in budget 2024, which will be announced in early October, the Government will honour that. We are worried...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Toll Increases and Ongoing Projects: Discussion with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...It has been sent to many local authorities. People should tune into this. It is maybe not so much an issue in Dublin, but this will totally shut down what can happen in counties such as Meath and Cork and pretty much anywhere in the west of Ireland. Mr. Walsh said it is Government policy, but it is totally contrary to what the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...elective hospitals went to the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly - it was a whole different committee and a whole different realm - and the memo pretty much spelled out that it should be Dublin, Cork and Galway. Lo and behold, the Minister and the Government accepted the memo as presented; that was it. I think we heard that the witnesses' memo gives an option, and it is very important...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ports Development: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...and allow another nation or another port like Bremen or Hamburg come over and fulfil it? Is there a network of European ports? Will the witnesses give an indication, comparable to Shannon Foynes, Cork or Dublin, of where other European ports are in being able to fulfil this initial stage of wind development?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Convention on the International Organization for Marine Aids to Navigation: Minister of State at the Department of Transport (22 Mar 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...wonder if there is going to be a beefing up of monitoring what happens in our coastal waters along the lines of what the Russians were attempting to do in regard to missile testing off the coast of Cork. I know this is more about the lighthouse end of things, but is the Department doing anything in that regard to keep a closer eye on what is happening in our waters and our airspace?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Does NAS have a metric on how many people may have lost out on entry to the course in Cork or University of Limerick, UL, on the basis of not having the right licence at the time?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...in recent weeks to triage and leap-frog young drivers who might be destined for paramedic work to the top of the list. I see NAS has plans for September to have 128 new entrants to the course in Cork, which is fantastic. What about the course that operates in UL? Of course, it operates independently, but the pathway from the University of Limerick into NAS is not defined. I note that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Air Corps (2 Feb 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...in my final few seconds. Now that we are in the decade of centenaries and the Civil War is being commemorated, I am seeing photographs pop up every weekend. There was one of Youghal, County Cork the other day where Sinn Féin Deputies were walking down the street with people in paramilitary uniforms. Does the Minister think it is right that a member of the Opposition, who purports...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...its national aviation policy. One of the things we saw was that it caps the number of aeroplanes that come in and out of Schiphol. That enthused us because Dublin enjoys a position of dominance. Cork, Shannon, which is in my constituency, and Knock airports then grovel to get that other space. Only 9% or so of the market is left for those airports to try to compete for. The cap in...

Cathal Crowe: ...to go down the Wild Atlantic Way. I am delighted the Government is pursuing this. The Taoiseach is surrounded by many west of Ireland Deputies. We will count the Taoiseach in that bracket as well as a Cork man. We would love to see the Tour de France go down through Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork and Kerry - down the Wild Atlantic Way. I hope the Taoiseach will turn around and ask our...
