- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: National Roads Authority: Discussion (17 Jul 2013)
John O'Mahony: I indicated that the main spokespeople would be allowed three minutes each, which has been interpreted very liberally.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: National Roads Authority: Discussion (17 Jul 2013)
John O'Mahony: A question was raised at a previous meeting by Senator Terry Brennan, who is not present, about lighting on motorways. If I am interpreting him correctly, he stated there was more lighting on motorways than anywhere else in the country.

We receive many representations on roads, as the NRA representatives will conclude from a lot of the questions asked today. I...
- Topical Issue Debate: Garda Recruitment (18 Jul 2013)
John O'Mahony: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for choosing this subject for the Topical Issue debate. A few days ago, the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, announced that Garda recruitment would recommence towards the end of this year. It was a very welcome announcement not only for those who will apply and be successful, but also because it underlines the Government's commitment to maintain...
- Topical Issue Debate: Garda Recruitment (18 Jul 2013)
John O'Mahony: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I am disappointed to hear from the reply that a new panel is to be formed. While as I stated earlier, some of the 400 people on the previous panel may have gone abroad or moved on to different careers, I believe some recognition should be given to those on the current panel still interested in a career in the Garda Síochána....

- Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Procurement Regulations (18 Sep 2013)
John O'Mahony: 455. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Ireland and the UK are the only two countries where a court case must be taken in order to make a public procurement complaint under 2004/18; his views on whether having to take a case to the High Court means that such a pathway to justice is unavailable to many smaller businesses, and...
