Seanad: Order of Business (13 Jan 2011)

Paschal Mooney: When political charges and counter charges are made across the House, especially in light of the events of the last 24 hours and the revelations in the Dáil yesterday, it might be expected that we on this side would go to ground. Far be it from that. I echo much of what our colleagues, Senator Boyle, has said. All of us on this side of the House would welcome full transparency and any...

I am on the record of the House - which is open to...

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

Paschal Mooney: People are hurting. We have a collective opportunity with the election of a new Government to reduce the burden of debt.
