Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jan 2013)

Paul Coghlan: I sympathise with our colleague, Senator Imelda Henry, on the death of her mother, and with her father, Peter, who is well known to us. I also sympathise with the families of the late former Senator Éamon de Buitléar and the late Kevin Heffernan. Of course, I join with colleagues in totally condemning the brutal murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe. We now know that these men were trapped in a...

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jan 2013)

Paul Coghlan: I commend Ms Tara Buckley of RGDATA on a report launched yesterday by that organisation entitled A Nightmare on Every Street, Town Centres, Car Parking and Smart Travel. We are all aware of the fact that we have a punitive level of parking charges and restrictions in most towns. Local authorities should be trying to save town centres from desertion and destruction but in many instances they...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2013)

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the possibility of having a debate on policing, as has been proposed from the other side of the Chamber. I am sure the Leader will do whatever is necessary in that regard.

There is no...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Feb 2013)

Paul Coghlan: I wish to be associated with the deserved warm tributes to Senator McAleese. He is an extremely courteous and kind man, quiet, effective and easy to deal with. I salute the work he did in regard to the Magdalen laundries, which often took him away from the House and involved a lot of research and analysis. I look forward to the publication of the report and, with the Leader's help, its...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Feb 2013)

Paul Coghlan: Yesterday we paid tribute to former Senator Martin McAleese which largely had to do with his detailed work on the Magdalen laundries report. We should be careful not to impugn his or his team's integrity. I believe they gave a fair and accurate assessment of what happened within the terms of reference. Yes, that was a huge blot on the State and certainly there were barbaric and horrific...

The Bill provides a pardon and amnesty to those who absented themselves from the Defence Forces without leave or permission in order to fight on the Allied side during the Second World War. The Government has apologised for the manner in which these individuals were treated by the State after the war. It...
