- Seanad: Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Report and Final Stages (10 Jul 2008)
Shane Ross: There is no need for that. Either the amendment is in order or it is not. I did not press my amendment because I understood Senator Regan has an amendment which is obviously allowed. It is printed and on the Order Paper.

- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2008)
Shane Ross: I see very little point in an appeal for bipartisanship on this issue. I regret the chorus of congratulations from the Government to the Minister for Finance on what he has done.
- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2008)
Shane Ross: I say that because I have no opinion at this stage on what sort of Minister for Finance he is. I do not know.

The banks came to him begging him to do something about the situation, otherwise catastrophe would have hit us today. I do not...
- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2008)
Shane Ross: Let us not say this was a great job done overnight. It was a last resort. What has been done is phenomenal in terms of figures. We have given guarantees of â¬400 billion to â¬500 billion.

Why in the...

The same problem will exist tomorrow and the banks will be just as insolvent tomorrow, with the same loans and property developers looking for huge amounts of money. How will that be tackled? That will come up and bite us next week when we realise the depositors...
- Seanad: Economic Situation: Statements (30 Sep 2008)
Shane Ross: I propose to share time with Senator Feargal Quinn when he comes to the House. This debate will pre-empt somewhat business scheduled for later in the evening. It is difficult to discuss the economy in a general manner without referring to specific developments in the past few hours and days. While I do not wish to be politically partisan because we all need to ensure the problem we face is...
