Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2011)

Paul Coghlan: I hope the Finance Bill will survive in order that this House can have its usual calm, dispassionate and objective consideration of it on Friday. Senator Daly made comments on bankers and banking. I have always understood that our policy on this side of the House is quite clear in regard to conduct, ethics, the bonus culture and so on, so I do not quite understand the Senator's comments....

Seanad: National Monument at 14-16 Moore Street, Dublin: Statements (26 Jan 2011)

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State and thank the Leader for arranging the taking of statements. I subscribe to the views outlined by the Minister of State and Senators Donohoe and Ó Murchú. This area is of huge historical and cultural significance. It is the foundations of the beginnings and birthplace of the Republic, so to speak. Everything that can be done to preserve it must be done....

Seanad: National Monument at 14-16 Moore Street, Dublin: Statements (26 Jan 2011)

Paul Coghlan: In common with all other Senators, I welcome members of the Moore Street committee and relatives of those involved in the 1916 Rising. I subscribe to what was said. I am glad the preservation order has been made and that the properties in question are considered to be a national monument. As has been said, they are in private ownership. I am not being definitive about this, but in view of...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jan 2011)

Paul Coghlan: I appreciate that. I am not sure whether the Leader would agree to holding a debate on the matter to which I refer. However, I am sure we will be able to deal with it on Second Stage of the Finance Bill. I welcome the tourism industry report that was launched yesterday by the Irish Tourist Industry Confederation. Many of the recommendations contained in the report are in line with policies...

Paul Coghlan: What year was that?

Seanad: Finance Bill 2011: Second Stage (28 Jan 2011)

Paul Coghlan: The Senator should table a recommendation.

Seanad: Finance Bill 2011 (Certified Money Bill): Committee Stage (29 Jan 2011)

Paul Coghlan: This recommendation makes eminent sense. It proposes a cost-benefit analysis of tax expenditure and the benefits gained in respect of job creation; the latter must be the first priority. This is completely in line with the Minister's own impact assessment of some of the other matters dealt with in the Bill, as well as the schemes commented upon widely. Some schemes may have been extended...

I also wish those Senators who will be fighting the forthcoming election or who are to retire from political life well....

Paul Coghlan: I am sorry that he is leaving us.

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2011)

Paul Coghlan: The kingdom salutes him. He made many pertinent points, although this is not the day to go through all of them. However, the words "festina lente", hasten slowly, come to mind. That was the advice he gave. I, therefore, urge the incoming Government to hasten slowly. It is important that all of the points made by Senator O'Toole should be borne in mind and I have no doubt that they will...
