- Seanad: Order of Business (8 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I assure Senator Mooney the motions will be debated in proper and due course. There is no doubt about Deputy Shatter's reforming zeal, his commitment to equality and his immense law reform record but, equally, I wish the new Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Fitzgerald, and the new Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Charlie Flanagan, every success. The Taoiseach will...

- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (13 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: As usual, Senator Marc MacSharry is needlessly trying to heighten matters. I do not know whether it was a phantom or semi-secret piece of paper he had, but it is certainly not an official document or an adopted report.
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (13 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I suggest the Senator exercise more caution and less speed in bringing forward items, the workings of his fertile mind.
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (13 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I concur with Senator Ivana Bacik's comments on the Guerin report. I too would welcome a debate on the matter. I am fearful, given that we have had so many Donegals in other parts of the country. It is sad that proper lessons were not learned from the Morris tribunal report of 2005. There is no doubt whatsoever, and it is clear from the report in regard to whistleblowers, that Sergeant...

- Seanad: Order of Business (14 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I want to refer briefly to the capital of Irish tourism and our greatest national park, Killarney National Park, which encompasses 27,000 acres. There are two oak woods - Tomies Wood and Derrycunnihy Wood - there that are unique in a global context and wherein the Sessile oak thrives. Large areas of both woods have been invaded by rhododendron and it is extremely important that these be...

- Seanad: Order of Business (14 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: The Senator has gone hoarse and should save his voice. I take this opportunity to commend the recent efforts of Mountain Meitheal, which comprises the chamber of commerce, local volunteers, the Tidy Towns committee and others and which has been scoping out the new loop walk that will circle the lakes of Killarney. When finished, the latter is going to be tremendous. I invite Senators to...

- Seanad: Central Bank Bill 2014: Second Stage (15 May 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I warmly welcome the Minister and I thank him for his extensive overview of this legislation. As he has said, the Bill before the House has just two purposes. First, it extends Part III of the Central Bank Act 1971 to ensure the business, assets and liabilities of building societies can be transferred to banks. As things stand, they may be transferred to other building societies only. It...
