Frank Feighan: Did the Senator vote against it?

Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Mar 2006)

Frank Feighan: I join in the condemnation of the recent gangland outrage. It was a miracle that no one was killed. What can be done about these drive-by shootings? Mike Tyson and his entourage must have felt at home. It is no wonder he escaped to the west. Young men, with automatic machine guns and bulletproof vests are trying to murder one another. I appreciate Garda resources are available but not enough...

Seanad: Shot at Dawn Campaign: Statements. (28 Mar 2006)

Frank Feighan: I thank Senator Brian Hayes for sharing time with me. I welcome the Minister to the House and welcome this debate. I went with Senator Mooney and the Connacht Rangers to Flanders 18 months ago and was taken aback by the huge sacrifice of soldiers and of the Irish regiments there. When Irish people who fought in the First World War returned home they returned to a different political climate...

Seanad: Health Services. (28 Mar 2006)

Frank Feighan: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I raise the very serious issue of the provision of a new health centre in Keadue, Boyle, County Roscommon. I speak on behalf of people in the area who want to establish a new health centre in Keadue. The premises from which the health centre currently operates is in a very poor state of repair and is inadequate to provide the full service to the...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Mar 2006)

Frank Feighan: I condemn the two armed robberies yesterday. However, I congratulate the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, the Garda Síochána and the Customs and Excise on their recent successful investigation into fuel and money laundering at the Border. This sends out a clear message that nobody is above the law and there are no longer any no-go areas in the country. This is welcome. Through...

Seanad: Order of Business. (30 Mar 2006)

Frank Feighan: I would like the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to outline the measures he intends to take to stop the growth of pyramid schemes. Yesterday, we heard that a pyramid scheme with over 1,000 investors has collapsed. The same issues arose in Cork over two months ago. It is a serious situation because there are many naive people, including maybe politicians, who...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Apr 2006)

Frank Feighan: I agree with Senator Glynn that there is a crime spree involving eastern European gangs. However, the Garda does not have the resources to deal with this problem. I know that from my experience of it having taken more than two weeks for a specialist from the Garda to take photographic stills from my computer. We read in the newspapers in recent days of a young man having been shot dead in...

Frank Feighan: Name and shame.

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Apr 2006)

Frank Feighan: I welcome the International Monitoring Commission's report which gave the IRA as clean a bill of health as possible. This will help the political climate. I am pleased the DUP attended the BIIP conference in Killarney and it appears that things are moving in the right direction. I was also at the GPO on Easter Sunday. It was a wonderful parade.

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Apr 2006)

Frank Feighan: It was a wonderful 1916 commemorative parade and we should be very proud of our Defence Forces or Óglaigh na hÉireann. Prior to the parade, the Taoiseach made one of his worst speeches. He announced the cornerstones of Irish——

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Apr 2006)

Frank Feighan: I would like to put on record that he announced the cornerstones of Irish democracy. Perhaps he forgot, or was ill-advised, but he did not mention W.T. Cosgrave's support for a fledgling democracy. He did not mention John A. Costello.

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 May 2006)

Frank Feighan: It is an honour for Ireland.

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 May 2006)

Frank Feighan: I join with my colleagues in calling for a debate on the electoral register. I am disappointed that the penny has just dropped because this issue has been raised many times. My colleague, Senator McHugh, raised this issue over a year ago when he outlined that PPS numbers should be used in the electoral register. Maybe it is not too late, but something should have been done before this. I join...
