Frank Feighan: -----because there were no cameras there. I will work with Senator Leyden and all interested parties to try to get this resolved. If the Government can do it, it will. However, there are issues that are outside the remit of the Government as the Senator will be aware.

Frank Feighan: -----that while he and many others stated that Roscommon Hospital would close, people would die and staff would lose their jobs, I stood in government with the Labour Party and delivered €20 million for the hospital, as well as an air ambulance service that has saved hundreds of lives. There are 500 people working in Roscommon Hospital. Senator Leyden is now giving out because the...

Frank Feighan: I congratulate Senator Ruane on arranging the football match tonight. It is no harm for us to get out of our bubble and socialise with people, and I congratulate her on connecting us with the Breakthrough Programme. I look forward to lifting the FAI cup tonight because, as a Sligo Rovers fan, we have lifted it three times in the past 15 years, and there is only one rovers - Sligo Rovers. I...

Frank Feighan: I also welcome the fact that the lottery Bill has been revised. I am aware that many people were very anxious that bingo would, in effect, be stopped.

However, there is an issue - I understand where the Minister is coming from - given the...

Frank Feighan: I thank the Minister of State. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed to have to say that incidents of anti-social behaviour appear to be on the increase on many of our train routes, including the Sligo to Dublin line. Irish Rail management has admitted as much and conceded to The Irish Timeslate last year that, "[B]oth employee reports and customer feedback do confirm that there has been an...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Anti-Social Behaviour (11 Dec 2019)
Frank Feighan: Clearly the top priority for Irish Rail should be the protection, health and safety of its passengers. I look forward to Irish Rail continuing to place this at the very top of its agenda. There needs to be zero tolerance for persons carrying out anti-social behaviour on our rail network. I hope Irish Rail will take that into account. On another note, I raise a less serious issue which it...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Dec 2019)
Frank Feighan: I thank Senator Gavan for eloquently putting the case for the Irish in Britain. We in this country do not fully appreciate the extent of the Irish diaspora, especially in major UK cities such as Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, London and Birmingham. I know from my British-Irish links that many of these men and women are involved in the Labour Party and Scottish National Party, and some are...
