- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2012: Discussion with Coillte (19 Nov 2013)
Pat Deering: You made the point that there is more timber available now than there was in 2006. In 2006, obviously, there would have been a greater need for it with the building industry coming to a peak at the time. If there is more now than in 2006, how is it at the current price, given that there is not as much demand for it?

- Topical Issue Debate: Electricity Transmission Network (21 Nov 2013)
Pat Deering: I thank the Minister for his response, but I do not think he got our point. The consultation process is flawed.
