Seanad: Order of Business (11 May 2010)

Seanad: Order of Business (12 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: The one thing the Minister for Finance cannot be accused of is telling lies, either politically or personally. He has outlined the position in great detail and has been honest and straightforward with the people in regard to the Government's budgetary and economic policy. I am sure all sides of the House wish to ask the Leader to convey the very best wishes of this House and of the Irish...

Paschal Mooney: In light of the demonstration last night, I, too, agree with what people on all sides of the House have said regarding the great anger that exists.

Seanad: Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (12 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Finneran. It is appropriate that he should be here in succession to his senior ministerial colleague, Deputy Smith. I compliment them on ensuring the interests of rural communities are continually kept high on the agenda. In a sense, that is the essence of this entire debate. Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy means many things to different...

Seanad: Public Service Agreement 2010-2014: Statements (13 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: We live in difficult times. It is somewhat regrettable that the Civil Public and Services Union, CPSU, has become the first union to reject the Croke Park pay and reform agreement. The CPSU, which represents approximately 13,000 lower paid civil servants, voted against the proposals recently by 2:1. Two other Civil Service unions, the Association of Higher Civil and Public Servants, AHCPS,...

Seanad: Public Service Agreement 2010-2014: Statements (13 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: It has become apparent that those in the banking sector acted recklessly, even to the point of criminality. I accept that the common law system which operates in this country can be slow. Equally, however, it is methodical and under it, those to whom I refer will eventually be brought to book. There have been populist calls for what the Americans term "the perp walk". People inquire how...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: I refer to the RTE programme "Prime Time Investigates" shown last night. It was an excellent example of public service broadcasting at its best, thoroughly investigating its subject matter, well researched and professionally presented. The programme highlighted the serious issue of the illegal dumping of hundreds of thousands of worn tyres throughout the country. Those breaking the law...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: The programme showed footage of a tyre fire in Campsey, County Derry, and the toxic fumes it caused. In England, people have been jailed for this sort of illegal dumping. Will the Leader invite the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy John Gormley, to the House to debate this matte? He appeared on last night's programme. I have every sympathy for him as he...
