Paul Coghlan: I fully support the proposal of Senator Brian Hayes to park the Garda Síochána Bill for six months, which would promote its agreement and improvement.

Seanad: Order of Business. (14 Jun 2005)

Paul Coghlan: I appreciate that. I am not trying to debate it. I am trying to point out that important differences exist which could be reconciled. What Senator Brian Hayes proposes is totally admirable. We do not have many MI5-type barracks in this country. In any case, I do not want to make such comparisons.

Seanad: Order of Business. (14 Jun 2005)

Paul Coghlan: An Daingean or Dingle. I am all for bilingualism and the promotion of the Irish language. However, if democracy means anything, people's opinions must count.

Paul Coghlan: I support Senator Finucane in his call for a debate on Northern Ireland and on men's health. I welcome what has been said about child care and the proposals that are forthcoming.

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister to the House. Ar an gcéad dul síos ba mhaith liom labhairt faoin chinneadh conspóideach an t-ainm "Dingle" a bhaint anuas de na comharthaí bóthair lasmuigh de Ghaeltacht Chorca Dhuibhne.

It is very important that we support the Taoiseach and that he manages to hold the line because we do not need to see our farmers suffer anymore. There is a great...

Paul Coghlan: Killarney House and its environs form an integral part of Killarney National Park and are its nearest aspect to Killarney town being virtually in it. In fact, the house and its environs back onto one of the town's streets.
