- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Paul Coghlan: In regard to charges and allegations of bribery and corruption against certain individuals, I suggest that we have a debate on our return on the most recent report of the Standards in Public Office Commission. That will afford us an opportunity to discuss these matters more fully. I do not wish to return to anything that was raised during the debate on a particular Bill, but I hope the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I am fully respectful of the fact that this is a matter for the sole discretion of the President. We all had our own difficulties with the legislation-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I am moving away from that. I wish to tell the story of two very wise retired nuns I met some time ago when I was agonising over the legislation in question. Everybody knows my view on the suicide clause and so on.
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jul 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I am not seeking to do so. When I was discussing the matter with these two good ladies, who served their full working lives on the missions in the Philippines and elsewhere, I put a hard case to them and confided that I was agonising over the issue myself. They asked whether I really thought women would wait around to be certified by three doctors, possibly go to appeal and so on-----

- Seanad: SI 325 of 2012 - European Union (Quality and Safety of Human Organs Intended for Transplantation) Regulations 2012: Motion (20 Aug 2013)
Paul Coghlan: Like everyone here I will be very interested in all that the Minister of State has to say. I am pleased he is here and, naturally, I welcome him to the House. I am unsure whether today will matter a whit but I thoroughly and utterly respect the right of Senator Daly, or anyone else, as well as the 20 Members who signed the petition to recall the House and have this debate. The debate has...

Paul Coghlan: I welcome Mr. Duffy and his colleagues.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with AIB (3 Sep 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I thank Mr. Duffy for his comprehensive overview. It is impressive compared to where they were when they started this process of restructuring, even if it sounds like the political party campaigning slogan: "A lot done, more to do." I wish to ask Mr. Duffy about the tracker policy. Is Allied Irish Banks refusing to allow trackers to transfer when perhaps a customer might move home? I am...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with AIB (3 Sep 2013)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (4 Sep 2013)
Paul Coghlan: My phone is off. I had switched it off earlier. I am sure Mr. Boucher would rather be somewhere else today rather than here. On the remaining 15% State equity and the preference shares to which he referred - he probably does not want to get into that because as he said the discussion is ongoing - when does he see-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of Financial Sector: Discussion with Bank of Ireland (4 Sep 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I appreciate that. When does Mr. Boucher envisage having this monkey off his back, so to speak? Does he want to say something about the timeframe as he sees it, in terms of the remaining 15%? Civil bills were mentioned. I appreciate everything that has been said about the figures. As of now, could he give a figure for how many repossession cases are with lawyers? On the write-down for...
