Seanad: Companies Bill 2012: Report and Final Stages (30 Sep 2014)

David Cullinane: I have congratulated the Minister of State twice already and I am afraid it will not be third time lucky because I do not want him to get too comfortable. We will obviously have to hold him to account in the next 14 to 15 months. There is a report that relates to the south east that I want the Minister of State to implement. It seems a long time ago since the briefing sessions on this Bill...

Seanad: Matters on the Adjournment: Schools Building Projects Status (30 Sep 2014)

David Cullinane: The Minister of State can do his first job for the south east by approving the capital funding for this school.

In spite of formal talks on peace and land reform in Colombia, more than 70 human rights defenders were murdered there this year....

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Trade Agreements (1 Oct 2014)

David Cullinane: This is not just a matter for the Whips. It is the prerogative of the Minister to decide to hold the debate. The Whips' job is to decide the timing of the debate and when it should happen. I am asking the Minister to give a commitment as Minister, to hold a debate on this issue. The Whips can then work out all of the rest. What exactly is a violation of human rights? The Minister rightly...
