- Seanad: Death of Former Taoiseach: Expressions of Sympathy (7 Feb 2024)
Seán Kyne: I join everyone in paying sincere tribute to the statesman, former Taoiseach and leader of Fine Gael, John Bruton. There has been a lot of commentary here today and I know John was a devout Catholic and a man of faith. I hope and believe that he is up there now, looking down, and is probably quite chuffed. It is often said that people are better regarded in death than in life but when...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Chairperson and Future Contributions of Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Board: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Feb 2024)
Seán Kyne: I thank Professor Collins and congratulate him on being appointed. I wish the professor the best of luck in the years ahead in terms of his stewardship of Inland Fisheries Ireland.

I am not sure it has ever...

It is now 15 months since...

I am not sure whether my time is up. Is it all right to continue? Yes. Has Professor Collins read the damning report by the...

Seán Kyne: Will he be discussing the report with the board or does the board have any reflection on what it says about the role of senior employees, especially the CEO?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Chairperson and Future Contributions of Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Board: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Feb 2024)
Seán Kyne: I am delighted the report was discussed at the committee. Did the committee decide not to appeal or was that decision made by the organisation? Will Professor Collins come back to us with a summary of the legal cost of defending this case, which was compromised from the start by the extraordinary behaviour of a senior employee?
