Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: The opinion poll published in The Irish Timestoday would seem to indicate that the people have lost trust in this Government. That is not surprising when one considers the mounting evidence. The Tánaiste has been critical of her partners in Government over Fine Gael's attempts to relieve the tax burden on the wealthy. According to Mr. Liam Doran, the hospital trolley situation now...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: My colleague, Senator Comiskey, commented earlier on the withdrawal of mammography services in Sligo General Hospital, but that is not the full story. Breast cancer is not a issue that should be politicised but it saddens me to say that the parties in this Government politicised the issue from the moment they embarked on the campaign trail seeking votes in the Sligo-Leitrim constituency. A...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: The House and the Minister of State are anxious that we proceed with the legislation as efficiently as possible. I will go through a significant number of sections now as the next recommendations relate to section 81 and we are only on section 32. If the Senator has an issue to raise on the intervening sections, I am alerting her that I intend to drive through them.

Seanad: Restructuring of Pensions at Aer Lingus: Statements (10 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I also share the concerns that have been expressed by Senator Power and Senator Darragh O'Brien who has been leading it on this side. My involvement came about because I was spokesperson on social protection on our side of the House when it was first introduced in the Social Welfare and Pensions Act. I share all of the opinions voiced by Senator Conway. In fact, I could not have put it as...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I join with those on all sides of the House who have been calling for extra funding for the Childline service. It is intolerable, in a civilised society, that domestic abuse should take place and for children to be involved. It is such a sensitive issue. This Government has been signalling over the last few months that it has more money in the kitty than in previous years. It is doling it...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: My focus was on Childline. I ask the Deputy Leader not to divert.

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Dec 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I did so in highlighting the Childline issue. I hope the Deputy Leader will raise the issue of additional funding with the Government.
