Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I join my colleagues in welcoming the Bill, which makes provision for the largest credit guarantee scheme in the history of the State. That is certainly welcome for businesses that are now at the pin of their collar. This will offer some much-needed liquidity as they try to get back on their feet. It is good news on top of last week's financial provisions and microenterprise loan fund...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Culture Policy (22 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I congratulate the three Ministers on the new roles they are undertaking and have every confidence they will do a good job. I want to ask about cancelled events and festivals this summer. There have been many cancellations. In my county, the famous Lisdoonvarna matchmaking festival, Willie Clancy week, the Feakle festival, the Scariff Harbour festival and Consairtín, which is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Culture Policy (22 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister and appreciate her reply. There is a domino effect to the cancellation of many of these events. Some of these events have tie-ins with local charities and community groups. For example, Ennistymon Community Hospital, Conradh na Gaeilge, West Clare Mental Health Association and Clare GAA are beneficiaries. A trickle-on funding stream is lost as a result of these...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: The programme for Government references unsewered rural villages. The project for one such village - Broadford, County Clare - is shovel ready. The land has been acquired and the project fully designed but it has sat on the shelf for many years. At a time when we have had absurd discourse on the environment, stating that dairy herds are major polluters, there are still rural villages like...

Revised Estimates for Public Services 2020 (23 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, on his appointment. He is a mid-west Minister of State so we hope he will deliver plenty in Clare and his home county, Limerick. I wish him the best as he gets under way with his new portfolio. There are a number of things I wish to bring to his attention in the realm of public expenditure. The first is a sewerage scheme in...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome our guests this morning. I largely agree with the witnesses' criticisms of the green list. It looks to me rather like a Euro championship qualifier group. I do not see much in terms of solid and worthwhile connectivity with countries such as San Marino and Monaco there. They certainly do not offer the quality connectivity on which we in the mid-west, and particularly Shannon...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to raise a few points, the first of which is for Mr. Gray. We have heard the word "outlier" quite a lot over the past week. It is a term I seldom heard used before the aviation sector came before this committee. It means not sitting with others and somewhat disadvantaged. The figures I want to put to Mr. Gray are those for inbound air traffic for the first 19 days of this month. A...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I understand that when everything was being shut down, the previous Government rightly said that it is essential we have some international travel links. That was at the time when nothing was taking off. I think there was one day when only one or two passengers left Dublin. It was right to keep routes open but at that point did the previous Government work out any deal with Dublin Airport...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I am sorry to cut across Mr. Gray but our time is quite limited. I want to pick up on his assertion that the north runway will be to the benefit of Ireland and the regions, to quote his contribution of a few moments ago. I would again contend that given Dublin's 86% market share, the north runway would do the exact opposite of that. It would lead to more take offs and landings in Dublin....

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I ask Ms Considine to respond to that question as well, please.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Ms Considine, and my next question is on the fire service at Shannon Airport. I understand overtime is no longer being paid and that the fire service is now at minimum staffing levels. A certain cohort of staff is required to achieve a category seven fire cover status but Shannon and all other Irish airports strive to have category nine status in order that they can cater for Boeing...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (28 Jul 2020)

Cathal Crowe: I thank Ms Considine. If I have time I may ask some short supplementary questions. My last big question is on the July stimulus. I listened to Ms Considine's presentation at the beginning. The July stimulus announcement last week included the extension of the temporary wage subsidy scheme, the suspension of commercial rates until the autumn, capital funding for projects and so on. As...
