Gerard Craughwell: I join with my colleagues in congratulating my fellow countyman, Senator Ó Céidigh, for bringing forward this Bill. I know that this issue of fraudulent claims, etc., goes back a long way in Galway. The Galway business community will be extremely proud of their local son who has brought this Bill forward.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Alliance Building to Strengthen the European Union (Resumed): Institute of International and European Affairs (26 Jun 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: I will address each group individually. I welcome Dr. Rigney. It is always good to meet someone from the ICTU which is looking after the workers of this country.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Jul 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: Successive Governments have praised the loyalty and commitment of the Defence Forces but have largely ignored anything to do with their pay. Today's edition of The Irish Timesreports the Public Service Pay Commission as being constrained in what it was able to do when it reviewed Defence Forces pay. Following years of neglect and poor pay, the Defence Forces deserve better than what is...
