Paul Coghlan: Is not Deputy Lynch here?
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2013)
Paul Coghlan: My goodness, I was taken aback by that announcement. I am trying to let it sink in. I share the concerns expressed by Senator Sean Barrett in regard to the National Pensions Reserve Fund which, as the Senator observed, was intended to cater for a rainy day. It has been raining for quite a while now and we are not out of the woods yet. Everything he said in that regard is true. The fund...
- Seanad: Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill 2011: Second Stage (20 Jun 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I was often in the House to hear him speak when he led from the benches where Senator Cullinane is now sitting. He did so ably and well in the term when I was there. I am glad to have him back in his current capacity. I have read the speech of the Minister of State and I am sorry I was not in the Chamber. There are too many things going on...

Paul Coghlan: It was reported. I agree with the Leader and with Senator Darragh O'Brien, leader of the Opposition, in regard to their words of caution lest any of us might prejudice any case that might arise from both the Garda inquiries and those of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which I understand are continuing in many cases, regarding the revelations made in these tapes. We must ask why did the...

Paul Coghlan: Is the Senator coming out with his hands up?
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I agree with Senator Darragh O'Brien. Naturally, we are all equally inquisitive about the new code of conduct in regard to mortgages and I agree with him that the Leader should arrange a debate in early course because there are fears about the way financial institutions are lining up to dispossess hundreds, if not thousands, of homeowners. That is something we cannot afford to have in our...

Paul Coghlan: It is good to see Senator Norris back in the House and in his usual good form. I congratulate Major General Michael Finn on his appointment as head of mission and chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation. This is not just a great honour for Major General Finn, it is also a great honour for the Defence Forces and the country. I wish him well. I salute the superb...

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. We often hear the word "democracy" and phrases like "democratic principles" and "democratic ideals". They are easy to say but difficult to establish and even more difficult to maintain. Democratic principles establish a rule of law, respect human rights and promote active politics. It should be an unwritten commitment of every public...
