Fiona O'Malley: -----visited Intel more than four months ago because we are concerned about energy costs. It is one of Intel's big problems with Ireland. We heard that costs were getting out of control and that we needed to do something about it, which we did. The fact that Intel has indicated it will reinvest in this country is such a good indicator.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2011)

Fiona O'Malley: I agree with the points made by Senator Ellis. Within an hour the general election may be called. The one thing the people need at the time of the general election is honesty, and that honesty will be demonstrated firstly by what the Opposition does at this point and whether it will be true. As Members have said, while the Labour Party in particular has stated that it is in the national...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2011)

Fiona O'Malley: The people deserve that honesty and they should get it at this first point when the vote is taken in the Dáil.

Seanad: Finance Bill 2011: Second Stage (28 Jan 2011)

Fiona O'Malley: I am sure the people of Dublin Central will, in their wisdom, choose him. I hope they will because the Senator has always contributed a great deal. I was prompted to say that even before he had indicated that he did not intend to return to the House.
