Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Nursing Homes (2 May 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State. That meeting sounds very positive. Long ago I used to believe the budget was set each autumn but I know work on the new budget has already begun. It is positive the Minister of State has had those negotiations and talks. Even though we are talking about our country's older population, a comparison could be drawn with childcare at the other end of the age...

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

Cathal Crowe: ...committee, and it had an engagement this morning. I followed some of this debate, but not all of it. I apologise if I ask questions that have been asked.

He came to one of my clinics approximately a fortnight ago in advance of today's...

Cathal Crowe: ...is a three-month rollover backdated to 1 April, which is good. However, rollover after rollover will eventually run out. Dialogue needs to happen.

If we are down to a cohort of 120 people in the health services...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Funding and Implementation of the National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Cathal Crowe: ...will meet most of our members as this day goes on. Currently, lung cancer screening is not part of the national strategy, but their concerns extend beyond that because of pulmonary fibrosis and long Covid.

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (14 Feb 2024)

Cathal Crowe: .... I sincerely and heartily congratulate Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly on assuming their roles as First Minister and deputy First Minister, respectively. It is shameful it took this long to get everyone back around the table. It is particularly shameful how the DUP conducted itself in this period, holding Northern Ireland to ransom. I join others in praising the public...

Cathal Crowe: ...13 on the M18. Our guests cannot possibly know every exit but this is one they might be familiar with because wherever you go in the country, a slip road or exit way from a motorway is usually a long, sweeping section of road where drivers can simply enter or exit the motorway system using their mirrors and their visuals. In this case, it is almost a 90° exit and it is pretty...

Cathal Crowe: ...and contributions are always valued by this committee. My first question is about the Dublin Airport expansion. Mr. Kenny Jacobs of the Dublin Airport Authority was before this committee not too long ago. He presented the expansion plans. He spoke about the cap. The cap is unworkable, whether we like it or not, and something has to change. However, I will outline my concerns in...

Everyone gets an offer, but sometimes people can be offered a school way out in Pallaskenry, County Limerick, and if you are from County Clare, that is a long distance.
