John Dardis: I would like to address the transport of large amounts of money around the State and the onus this places on the Garda and the Army. We all agree the bulk of the cost should be borne by financial institutions themselves. It would be desirable for Ireland to move towards becoming a cash-free society but we must accept that cash is at the heart of retail. As Senator Mansergh said to me a moment...

- Seanad: Order of Business. (21 Apr 2005)
John Dardis: There is a common theme in many of this morning's interventions. Senators Brian Hayes, O'Toole, Ryan, Hanafin, Finucane, Norris, Coonan and Callanan raised the matters of lamb prices and consumer rights. It is damaging to farm incomes if there is a drop in lamb prices. The Competition Authority examined this issue in respect of beef and a report was prepared by Professor Seamus Sheehy. No...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (21 Apr 2005)
John Dardis: I do not know how the Garda can trace people who have done something wrong short of stopping them at the time. This may be deliberate. This is a question of implementation and enforcement of the law, which is a matter we can bring to the attention of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. On driving tests, failure rates and the relative success of men and women, I had thought...

- Seanad: Registration of Deeds and Title Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (5 May 2005)
John Dardis: I welcome the Minister to the House. Senator Norris referred to incidents in novels but if he reads the life of Edmund Burke he will see the same events happened frequently in real life at that time. The lesson of this history is that the religion of the land is superior to the denomination to which a person belongs. Maybe this trait is still evident in Irish society. In Burke's time it was...
