- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: What I am about to say is in the public domain. The article, about a young girl who was bullied and murdered, is traumatising and moving. I pay tribute to An Garda Síochána, as well as to the families of both Ana Kriégel and the boys involved. This case has shaken this country. I do not know what else to say, but everybody should read Conor Gallagher's respectful piece...
- Seanad: Adoption, Information and Tracing: Statements (19 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I welcome the Minister to the House to discuss this important Bill. I also feel that the agreement to allow the deferral of the Committee Stage of the Adoption (Information and Tracing) Bill 2016 today is very welcome. It shows that there is cross-party support. I thank all of the members of the public and all of the various agencies involved on their engagement. Many of us in this House...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Advancing the Low-Carbon Transition in Irish Transport: Discussion (19 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I like Dr. Moore's views on the forum for peer learning for villages, towns and cities. We have been quite lazy. Certainly local authorities have been quite lazy. Many years ago, we got funding for cycle paths and the local authorities built footpaths. There are much stricter conditions in place now. We are talking about cities and it is great to see so many cyclists in Dublin. I live...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Garda Stations (25 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Jim Daly, to the House. I am very pleased he is here to discuss this very important issue. As the Minister of State will appreciate, there is a growing level of urgency in regard to the need to progress the project. Unfortunately, gardaí in Sligo expressed their deep concern in late 2017 when they staged a protest about the conditions in which...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Garda Stations (25 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I thank the Minister of State for the update. I am happy that things are moving in the right direction. I would like to get a specific timeframe for delivery of these stations. However, I understand that these are quite complex processes involving the OPW and PPP projects. The Minister of State referred to planning and design. I am very aware of this Garda station. I drive or walk by it...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I would also like to be associated with the messages of condolences to the late councillor, Manus Kelly, who was tragically killed in the rally in Donegal. I was driving to Dublin today and was shocked at the level of discourse among British politicians and broadcasters. I heard Edwina Currie, who was a minister in the British Government many years ago and who is now a broadcaster and...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I am at a loss, having found out that this is the level of discourse in the British Parliament and among senior British politicians. They believe that they need somebody dodgy. This is not a Third World country.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: This is the United Kingdom that was supposed to be the home of democracy. I hear Boris Johnson, who will probably be the next Prime Minister, state that there are abundant technical solutions. I happened to be in Northern Ireland with the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly. We are doing a study on illicit cross-Border activity. It was shocking. We met with the head of the Police...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Jun 2019)
Frank Feighan: I reject what has been said by Senator Nash. Fine Gael worked very closely with the Labour Party in a very difficult time. The Labour Party and Fine Gael helped to rescue this country. Senator Nash's comments are not representative of what I believe. We will agree to differ. As Chairman of Committee A of the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly, I mentioned yesterday that the committee...
