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

Cathal Crowe: You must. You let loads of your colleagues in.

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

Cathal Crowe: I welcome Mr. Walsh and Mr. O'Neill and thank them for engaging with us. Before Christmas, the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, visited County Clare and met Bridget Fogarty. She hails from the village of Crusheen in north-east Clare. In June 2018, she got a devastating phone call to say her husband, Michael, had been killed at exit 13 on the M18. Our guests cannot possibly know every...

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

Cathal Crowe: I accept that. This is one of the trickier Oireachtas meetings because members are all firing local cases at the witnesses. We respect that Mr. Walsh cannot know all the particulars. A file has gone into TII's offices and I ask that it be given the utmost attention. More generally, the committee will shortly begin work around speed limit reductions, as flagged by the Government last...

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

Cathal Crowe: Yes.

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

Cathal Crowe: A huge bugbear in County Clare is that TII, in conjunction with the office of the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, has written to Clare County Council, as I understand it, saying national roads in the country can no longer be considered for planning permission purposes. Another Deputy raised this matter earlier. Generally, that makes sense. If there is a fast road or main thoroughfare...

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

Cathal Crowe: I think most of us were councillors before we became Oireachtas Members. I remember years ago a full council meeting, lasting for two or three hours, to debate guidelines, the conclusion of which was that guidelines, though important, are only guidelines. The guidelines carry substance and clout but is it the case that where a planner with all his or her expertise and professional knowledge...

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

Cathal Crowe: An inner relief road scheme has been planned for many years for the N67-N85 at Blake's Corner in the town of Ennistymon, north Clare. It has gone to judicial review, I believe. Do the TII chiefs have any insight into the status of that and when the people of north Clare might expect to see work taking place?

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

Cathal Crowe: I have a what-if question. If it got beyond judicial review with a favourable outcome, is it still years off or will it be a priority for TII?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Business Supports (8 Feb 2024)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister for his response. He has listed some of the additional challenges and costs these businesses are facing. I would like to highlight one of them. Just last week, we all saw supermarkets unveiling new bottle and tin can recycling machines. They cost €15,000 apiece but there is no Government support for that. They have all had to go down this route. There is a...
