Weather-Related Supports for Farmers: Statements (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...their produce in the months of March and April - before we even get into the summer - to protect it from the heavy sunshine. In terms of agricultural produce, we have to have our own outputs in Ireland but we need to have a more global look, and a look within the European bloc of countries as well, as to how much we can produce. Bad and all as our weather can be, this small island nation...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...the health front - everyone gets health cover but they pay for it - but not when it comes to homes. If someone's home has been bone dry and never took in a drop of water and if the topography of land is different such that one home is 20 ft higher than another, why can people in Shannon town, Shannon Banks and Westbury - about 6,000 people - not get flood cover at the moment? It gets...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Large-scale Capital Projects: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (14 Feb 2024)

Cathal Crowe: .... If there is a fast road or main thoroughfare linking major towns and cities, in theory there should not be building on it; however, that is not the way settlement patterns have happened in Ireland. West of Ennis, there are only a small handful of significant villages and Kilrush is the only town of real significance in west Clare. All along the road people have purchased land with...

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: ...know the situation is replicated around the country, that when equines 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....

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (8 Nov 2023)

Cathal Crowe: In recent months, there has been huge recruitment to An Bord Pleanála and cases are starting to move once again. However there is now a trend where people are appealing the residential zoned land tax, RZLT, which becomes a liable taxation payment on 1 January. All those cases are being appealed to An Bord Pleanála and it is clogging up the system. Last week, 146 cases were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (25 Oct 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...the county development plan adopted in April and were changing some of the zoning in it. We have had a debate on this and it belongs to a different Department. At the same time, an element of land zoning is the potential to develop along the national routes in Clare. I am specifically speaking about the N67 and N68 in west Clare and the N85 in north Clare. The local authority was told...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (3 Oct 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...Tánaiste mentioned the non-financial measures he is looking at in retaining those who serve and housing should come into that mix as well. Around 1982 or 1983 the Department of Defence owned a huge land bank in Knockalisheen, Meelick, County Clare. A lot of the men and women from that locality would be based out of Sarsfield Barracks in Limerick but the Department of Defence...

European Council Meeting: Statements, Questions and Answers (12 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...kidnapped illegally and brought over the border and only 300 returned, it leaves about 15,900 children away from their parents and being kept against their will on the Russian side of border. Ireland needs to take a position on this and we need to use our diplomatic channels, both in the European Union and with the United Nations to push this. I also wish to raise the issue of horse...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wastewater Treatment (6 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...for All always nearly gets dominated with discussions about social housing and affordable housing, but the reality is that villages like Broadford, Cooraclare and others in Clare and throughout Ireland can play a major role in housing provision if they have a network. Broadford has been fighting for this for many decades. When I was a councillor in 2004 they acquired land. It is...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (5 Jul 2023)

Cathal Crowe: There are two pieces of law that cover horse control and horse welfare in Ireland. There are many people who live within those laws and many who do not. Nobody in this country has a cultural entitlement to unconditionally own a horse. Many of our families in the 1940s and 1950s had horses and carts before the family bought a motorcar. That does not confer a right on any of us nowadays to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...men, women and children go out with binoculars and cameras and photograph planes. It is good public relations for the airport. Some nice Instagram and Facebook pages show what is taking off and landing at Dublin Airport. Can DAA do anything for them to make it a little more comfortable, perhaps get them into the terminal?

Nature Restoration Law and Irish Agriculture: Statements (31 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...restoration law, again there are a lot of positives, but the one thing I cannot fathom how it would work in any practical way is rewetting. It is one thing if a farmer decides to plant all the land with spruce, Scots pine, fir or whatever species of conifer. That does not materially impact on the neighbouring land, but if farmers decide to rewet land, haggards, or whatever land their...

Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023: Second Stage (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State for bringing the Bill before the Dáil. It is very important legislation which brings a legal remedy to the McFarlane v. Ireland case before the European Court of Human Rights, and puts us back in line, because we were in breach of Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Essentially, the legislation brings in a compensatory factor for people...

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

Cathal Crowe: ...did not have all of the skill sets required for large animals but some of them. There needs to be some pathway for them, provided they obtain a green certificate and a Quality and Qualifications Ireland, QQI, level 8 qualification, to enter and be fast-tracked through this course somehow. I do not agree with the argument made on the radio in the past 48 hours that a son or daughter of a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Natural Resources (9 Mar 2023)

Cathal Crowe: ...that up to 90% of drained organic soils would be rewetted, reducing livestock production by 30%, with 875,000 ha brought back into forestry. Overall, this could result in 20% of the State's land being taken out of production, which is a huge concern for rural Ireland. I ask the Minister of State to give some clarity on what is intended.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Motor Insurance and Uninsured Drivers: Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (8 Mar 2023)

Cathal Crowe: With legislative improvements, where would MIBI see that 8.3%? Where would it expect it to land? What would be a comparable percentage in another country where there are similar-----
