- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: Second Stage (9 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I am sorry; I did not mean to interrupt. By the way, this is not confined to the Minister's Department and it happens more frequently than it should in this House. Perhaps there should be a greater awareness in advance that copies of speeches will be needed.
- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: Second Stage (9 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I thank the Minister for her comprehensive explanation of this substantial legislation. It is unprecedented in the history of the Garda to take away the direct channels of communication between the Garda and the Government since the foundation of the force. We support the establishment of the policing authority in that context. The Bill also brings us into line with what is happening on...
- Seanad: Yeats 2015: Statements (9 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: This is a welcome opportunity to speak about the huge number of activities and events taking place to mark the birth date of William Butler Yeats. He is not somebody removed by history but a person who sat on these seats and contributed to debates in this Chamber, the walls and ceiling of which resounded to the sound of his voice. He is very much part of our recent history. The Minister...
- Seanad: Moore Street Area Renewal and Development Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State and also the relatives of the leaders of the 1916 Rising. Once again, we are experiencing living history in this debate. I compliment the Save Moore Street campaign, the members of which have been outside the gates this evening, as well as being in the Visitors Gallery. They have distributed a leaflet which reads: A property speculator was to demolish most...
- Seanad: Moore Street Area Renewal and Development Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: That is the basis for and what the Bill is about. It was tabled by the leader of the Fianna Fáil group, Senator Darragh O'Brien, and is supported by Fianna Fáil representatives throughout Dublin, some of whom are on Dublin City Council and here today, and the Save Moore Street campaign. This is living history. I wish we would take a leaf out of the book of our American cousins...

- Seanad: Statute Law Revision Bill 2015: Committee Stage (10 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I wish to put on record the extraordinary work that has been carried out by the Department in this revision of statutes. In a way, it is a pity these statutes will now be consigned to the dustbin of history, because many of these statutes, particularly those within Part 1, which relate to the period from 1600 to 1603, bring those of us who grew up learning about Irish history of that period...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing: Environmental Protection Agency (10 Jun 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I thank Mr. Lynott and Dr. Donlon. Given that the EPA is at such an early stage in this research, we are somewhat limited in the type of information that we can extract from the agency. The appendices have been helpful in that regard. I wish to focus on Appendix A, about which I am sure my colleagues will have something to say also. There is serious concern about the involvement of CDM...
