Eugene Regan: I understand he took a cut at me earlier on "Morning Ireland".

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Feb 2010)

Eugene Regan: I have a question for the Leader. The question I raised yesterday is legitimate. There is no reason for the Taoiseach to get thick with me. It would be much better if he addressed the question that was raised rather than attacking me personally. The reality is we have a series of events where the Taoiseach raised the borrowing limit that allowed the fiasco of the Dublin Docklands...

Seanad: Arbitration Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages (24 Feb 2010)

Eugene Regan: The Bill essentially introduces the UNCITRAL Model Law on arbitration. We have not tabled any amendments because, if we are to implement the Model Law, we must do so in its entirety without modifications to the legislation. I have no difficulty with section 2 or any other section.

Seanad: Arbitration Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages (24 Feb 2010)

Eugene Regan: I welcome the introduction of this Bill. It provides for a streamlined system of arbitration in Ireland. The best practice in this respect is the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law - Model Law. It is important that it is incorporated unadulterated or modified to ensure we are seen to have legislation in this country which conforms with world standards and best practice...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Feb 2010)

Eugene Regan: I refer to the judgment of the Special Criminal Court as regards the Omagh bombing. One can read today about how the issue of falsified Garda notes has dogged both trials of Colm Murphy in connection with the Omagh bombing. There was no evidence before the courts on which a jury, properly charged, could convict the accused. This is an extraordinary indictment of the Garda Síochána and...

Eugene Regan: We were promised that would happen.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Mar 2010)

Eugene Regan: I question why we are being given the runaround with regard to a debate on the banks and NAMA. The only logical explanation is that the Government is all at sea on the banks and totally confused with the results from the banks such as those from AIB today. The implications for the Government of the corrections to the NAMA scheme in final approval being given by the Commission may not yet...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Bill 2009: Second Stage (2 Mar 2010)

Eugene Regan: I agree with the Minister on the importance of the Bill and that as a responsible and committed member of the European Union, Ireland needs to transpose this directive and to do so without delay. The reputation of this country and of the International Financial Services Centre makes it imperative to have the best practice standard of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing...
