- Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2007: Second Stage (21 Feb 2007)
Kathleen Lynch: There is very little in the Bill. It is about increasing numbers in an area where clearly there is a need for increased personnel. The Minister's speech was wide-ranging. I suppose he felt the Bill was short and he had to go into all sorts of other areas. He told us halfway through his speech that he would not go into the entire package on criminal activities, between drugs and guns, which...

Kathleen Lynch: The Minister never gets in a huff.
- Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (21 Feb 2007)
Kathleen Lynch: The amendment reads: "In page 4, subsection (1), line 10, to delete "and Court Officers"", and I raise this on basis the Bill does not have anything to do with officers of the court. It deals entirely with the appointment of judges.
- Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (21 Feb 2007)

- Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (21 Feb 2007)
Kathleen Lynch: I move amendment No. 7: In page 4, subsection (2), line 12, after "2003" to insert the following: ", Part 3 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004". This is a technical amendment. If the Bill is to be complete, the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 should be mentioned.

- State Airports. (21 Feb 2007)
Kathleen Lynch: The former Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, gave an unequivocal pledge that Dublin Airport would take on the debts of Shannon and Cork airports. He stated that the major regional airports would begin life as independent and debt-free entities. Spelling out Government policy, he emphasised that the Dublin Airport Authority, the country's biggest and most profitable operation, would...
- State Airports. (21 Feb 2007)
Kathleen Lynch: That will increase, by all conservative estimates, to double that figure. This was done the day before the Government let it be known that Cork Airport Authority must take on a debt of â¬100 million â a pittance in comparison with what it will pay for the toll bridge, but then again one is in Dublin, the other is Cork. Dublin is to get â¬600 million of taxpayers' money so that traffic...
- State Airports. (21 Feb 2007)
Kathleen Lynch: This Administration can be fairly accused of being long on promises but short on action. The DAA stands accused of asset stripping and also of riding roughshod over the assurances that both Cork and Shannon airports would start with clean balance sheets. The question the Government has failed to answer is who will end up paying this bill. Clearly, if both Cork and Shannon airports are...
- State Airports. (21 Feb 2007)
