Nurses and Midwives: Motion [Private Members] (2 Nov 2021)

Seán Crowe: ...beyond burnout. As a matter of urgency, the physical and mental health supports for healthcare workers must be ramped up. With hundreds of nurses suffering the lingering effects of long Covid, a pat on the back and a cheery congratulation is insulting and adds to their frustration. The Government is not taking long Covid seriously. As other countries have moved forward with supports...

Priority Questions: Northern Ireland (30 May 2017)

Seán Crowe: ...Those who remain without a voice, namely, the families of the victims, have an expectation that those elected to any parliament will respect the rule of law.

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion (25 May 2016)

Seán Crowe: ...by the latest British Government. The so-called new relationship with Britain does not appear to extend to transparency and the release of the files on the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. This is all part of a pattern, as the British Government remains the singular obstacle to resolving many legacy issues such as the public inquiry into the killing of Pat Finucane, the killing, as mentioned,...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Human Rights Issues (17 Dec 2015)

Seán Crowe: .... Mr. Andrew Gardner, Amnesty International's researcher on Turkey, has stated that the Turkish investigation already smacks of a cover-up. We are aware of the killing of the human rights lawyer, Mr. Pat Finucane, in the North as a result of collusion. There is concern in the Turkish case that the authorities, which seem to be involved, are investigating this alleged killing. I urge...

Seán Crowe: 21. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will provide an update on the recent discussion of the case of Mr. Pat Finucane at the Council of Europe; the basis of Ireland's statement on the issue; and if he will provide an update on his work to ensure there is a full public inquiry into the killing of Mr. Finucane.

Northern Ireland: Statements (3 Nov 2015)

Seán Crowe: ...be stopped in its tracks as it will compound the hurt of victims and their families. The British Government is refusing to hold a public and independent inquiry into the killing of the human rights solicitor, Pat Finucane, who was shot dead in front of his family by the UDA on 12 February 1989. Collusion was a matter of institutional and administrative practice by successive...

Order of Business (1 Oct 2015)

Seán Crowe: ...to raise the case of Ibrahim Halawa who is facing a mass trial this Sunday. If convicted he will be sentenced to death. Will the Government agree to set time aside to discuss the case? Deputy Pat Breen, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs, was recently in Egypt on a visit to Ibrahim Halawa, as was Lynn Boylan, MEP. The conditions in which he is being kept in prison are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Outstanding Legacy Issues affecting Victims and Relatives in Northern Ireland: Discussion (24 Sep 2015)

Seán Crowe: ...conflict in the State? We support groups in the North but not in the South. I do not know why but perhaps the delegates might fill us in. We seem to have a partitionist approach, with huge sympathy for groups and individuals in the North, but when something happens here, the State does not respond. We heard other speakers talk eloquently about how they had felt left behind or were the...

Seán Crowe: ...St. Patrick's Day, we ask that this be part of our strategy, and that we formally ask the embassy to adopt this position. We ask that when Irish Ministers travel around the US they deal with this issue and lobby formally rather than just patting people on the back. The ILIR thought a formal submission had been made, but only recently learned that this was not the case. Again, the ILIR...

Northern Ireland and the Stormont House Agreement: Statements (20 Jan 2015)

Seán Crowe: ...fell short of being comprehensive because the British Government, sadly with the support of the Irish Government, refused to meet its obligations to hold an inquiry into the killing of lawyer Pat Finucane, legislate for an Irish language Act or a bill of rights or address other outstanding commitments. One key question that many Irish people are asking is why this Government turned away...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (12 Mar 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...in Ireland and elsewhere in Europe, namely, mass unemployment, emigration, increased poverty and the devastation of communities and public services. His intervention was an attempt to rewrite the narrative and pat little Ireland on the back for bailing out gamblers and speculators and devastating public finances in order that millionaires and billionaires would not have to take a hit on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Northern Ireland - Time to Deal with the Past: Amnesty International (6 Mar 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...other agreements include the rights and entitlements of victims.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Discussion with Commissioner for Victims and Survivors (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...centre in east Belfast, which this committee has visited on a number of occasions. The Skainos centre is the tent; it is supposed to be safe, a shared space to which people can come. For example, Mr. Pat Magee, who served time for the Brighton bombing, and Ms Jo Berry, whose father was killed in that bombing, met in it. They talked about the story of their relationship, how they had got...

Northern Ireland: Statements (Resumed) (5 Feb 2014)

Seán Crowe: ...to a process of reconciliation and the promised shared inclusive spaces. The British Government has failed in its commitment to implement an Irish language Act and a full public inquiry into the killing of Pat Finucane. The Good Friday Agreement enshrines the rights of all cultures and identities to equality and parity of esteem regardless of the issue of sovereignty. Yet the British...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Prisoner Welfare (26 Jun 2013)

Seán Crowe: ...family. He has been in jail for six weeks and his family has not had access to him. His local representative, Deputy Pearse Doherty, has been refused a representational visit.

There is a...

European Council Brussels: Statements (19 Dec 2012)

Seán Crowe: ...? There would be a negative impact on Ireland, especially in the Border region, given the difficulties involved. Deputy Adams asked the Taoiseach to raise the de Silva report on the killing of Pat Finucane. Did that issue arise as part of the discussions? Was it raised with the British Prime Minister?

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Oct 2012)

Seán Crowe: ...the budget. We are no closer to confirming a deal on our legacy debt than last June. In fact, the situation is less certain than the Government claimed in June. The whispered words of support are the pat on the back outside meetings. What seems to be happening is there is growing opposition to a deal on legacy debt. Merkel has her elections in autumn and we have our €6 billion...
