It also was the home of Mr. John McShain, the man who built America. Many Members will remember him, as well as that horse, Ballymoss, and many others trained by Vincent O'Brien. He was...
- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)
Paul Coghlan: Yes, but before I come to the question, I wish to state that he was the man who gifted to this nation Ross Castle and Innisfallen Island. It is thanks to Mr. McShain and others such as Lord Castlerosse's niece, Mrs. Grosvenor, and Arthur Vincent, from whom the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park Act 1932 followed, that we now have this foremost national park, namely, Killarney National Park. I look...

Paul Coghlan: This is the first opportunity to replace the two elected members of the European Parliament. By-elections, by law, must be held within six months of a vacancy arising, so this is normal business. I smiled when the Senator mentioned water charges, with his tongue planted firmly in cheek. He knows well that there are alleviating measures for medical and other reasons, an appeals system and a...

In the past number of days, many Senators will have received a number of e-mails. One of these was headed Gateway to Revenue - Your Fiscal Activity and informed Senators they were eligible for a tax return of €342.
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)

The final e-mail was headed from the Revenue Commissioners and seemed to include its exact logo. It informed Senators they were no longer eligible to receive a tax refund, but should fill out the enclosed form and return...

Paul Coghlan: I compliment the Minister on the balance of skills and experience of these two people that she has read out to us. The concern seems to be only with the gentleman, not with the lady, but this man is already involved in culture, heritage, tourism, the GAA and the Irish language.
