- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Jun 2014)
Paschal Mooney: I support Senator MacSharry's amendment. I am not at all reassured by Senator Coghlan's comments. It seems like a wolf in sheep's clothing to talk about taking it easy. There is nothing easy about what has happened recently. The simple fact is that the Committee of Selection of this House nominated two people. By his intervention yesterday, the Taoiseach has now undermined the entire...

We are now witnessing political skulduggery at the very highest level. Here is a situation where a democratically...

Paschal Mooney: I will move the amendment with regard to No. 1. When the banking inquiry was first discussed, the Government Chief Whip came before the House and we had a debate.

I wish to put on the record once more...
