- Irish Film Board (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (14 Dec 2006)
John O'Donoghue: I understand that "The Running Mate", which will be shown on TG4, is quite entertaining. People have asked why there should be a limit on the Irish Film Board's outlay.

- Irish Film Board (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Dec 2006)
John O'Donoghue: To take Deputy Deenihan's point first, the question of a media office is something we can bring to the attention of the Irish Film Board to determine if it is a sustainable and viable option. The Irish Film Board film commission acts as a focal point and information hub for the network of regional film offices to facilitate film making activity on the ground in the regions.
