- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Feb 2014)
Paul Coghlan: In any event, moving to another matter, I was sorry I was not here to contribute yesterday on the matter of community courts, which I welcome and which this House welcomed even in advance of passing the motion yesterday.

Paul Coghlan: I am always amused when Senator Darragh O'Brien speaks slightly tongue in cheek. I do not wish to revisit anything that happened yesterday but we all know the only flaw in Senator Quinn's Bill related to the wise counsel of the Attorney General, which the Government wisely took on board. That said, and let us not argue, there is nothing preventing landlords and tenants taking into account...
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I commend the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, on the great progress he has made since taking office three years ago on 9 March 2011. This progress has been hard won by the Irish people and has put the State in a position to broaden our economic recovery. Debt sustainability has been vital to the restoration of our economy and will be important for future sustainable growth....

- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2014)

Paul Coghlan: I would like to counter what has been said because I am in touch with the Irish Hotels Federation, including Conor Hennigan and others who are leaders in that regard in Killarney.
