- National Sports Campus Development Authority Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (4 May 2006)
Eamon Ryan: I recently read an interesting argument from a UK commentator which related to the UK Government but which also applies to the Irish Government and my thoughts on this Bill.

I do not know for how many years he has been a Minister or Taoiseach â it must be the guts of 20 to 25 years â but perhaps the concept of walking to an...
- Forestry Sector. (4 May 2006)
Eamon Ryan: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing this matter to be raised. I was born more than 40 years ago in Dundrum in south Dublin and grew up there.

I was seven or eight years of age when we started walking, and was...
