Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Fáilte Ireland: Chairperson Designate (14 May 2014)

Paschal Mooney: The Chairman has covered the essential elements. I welcome Mr. Cawley. Some of us were exercised by his name. The fact that his father was a detective sergeant would indicate that he was not from Cork. We were wondering if there was a Sligo connection.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Fáilte Ireland: Chairperson Designate (14 May 2014)

Paschal Mooney: It was reflected in Mr. Cawley's excellent presentation, which covered all the bases. I compliment him on it. I come from Drumshanbo, County Leitrim. In terms of tourist numbers, the north west has always been below the radar relative to other areas of the country. I fully understand that the consumer chooses. Should the separate roles of Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland be...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I second the amendment proposed by Senator Marc MacSharry. I have risen in this House in recent months to rail against Government plans, either intentional or aspirational, for rural Ireland. I am sad to have to report to the House again firm evidence that one of the most successful rural schemes, the rural social scheme, is under threat. Despite pleas to the contrary, I have come to the...

Seanad: Youth Guarantee and Rent Supplement: Statements (28 May 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister and wish her well. The Department of Social Protection has admitted that it will be unable to provide training or employment for more than half of those under 25 on the live register. This has been the focus of some criticism from the OECD and the European Commission which claim Ireland now risks the emergence of a lost generation. While I welcome the figures...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2014)

Paschal Mooney: With all due respect, Senator Bacik has been somewhat disingenuous about the sequence of events she has attempted to outline. The core of the issue is that the Government decided in setting up the Fennelly commission that it was, as Senator Bacik correctly points out, to focus on the alleged recordings at GSOC but it tagged on the forced retirement or dismissal of the former Garda...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2014)

Paschal Mooney: Despite the fact that people spoke about the compellability issue through a referendum, the Government subsequently introduced legislation to enhance the powers of committees such as the Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, although it has refused to use it. It is like a dog which does not bark. Those questions should have been asked and answered yesterday. It is not for the...
