Seanad: Personal Insolvency Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2012)

Paschal Mooney: Earlier I referred to Mrs. Justice Denham of the Supreme Court. Is the Minister considering extending other specialist courts? I understand Mrs. Justice Denham made particular reference to a permanent constitutional court because of the volume and burden placed on the Supreme Court at the moment with regard to constitutional matters before it. This is what I had in mind. In some of the...

Paschal Mooney: Cuirim fáilte roimh Mr. Scollan agus Mr. Gilmore and I thank them for their excellent presentation. As I am aware others wish to ask questions, I will focus on one or two issues.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Ireland West Airport Knock: Discussion (5 Dec 2012)

Paschal Mooney: What has emerged from this discussion is that there is a blueprint in the Government to grow Shannon at the expense of Knock.

Therefore, I will make a formal proposal in terms used in the airline...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2012)

Paschal Mooney: With regard to deference to and respect for the Chair, who like many colleagues, has respect and appreciation for the decorum of the House, some elements of Members' contributions do not cast a positive reflection on the House and I do not mean the content. For example, when the Chair stands, it has always been a tradition and a convention that the Member resumes his or her seat. If we...
