- Seanad: Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (27 Jul 2011)
Paschal Mooney: It is a practice that has evolved in the House that some Members might not necessarily welcome. The reading of scripts should be avoided, if possible, but it is not against Standing Orders. While the Chair does not have an opinion on this, I suggest that the Senator's remarks may provoke a positive reaction among some Members of the House. I call Senator Quinn.
- Seanad: Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (27 Jul 2011)

- Seanad: Commission of Investigation Report into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne: Motion (27 Jul 2011)
Paschal Mooney: The Senator's point is not a point of order. If she wishes to elicit from Senator Crown his motives for raising any question, or the motives of any other Member, I suggest that she ask them in the antechamber afterwards. I do not want to prolong this discussion because we are wasting the time of Members. There is a long list of speakers on the motion and, in the interest of facilitating...
- Seanad: Arts Plan: Statements (21 Sep 2011)
Paschal Mooney: I echo the fine compliments that have been made about the Minister, Deputy Deenihan. Will he consider using his influence to ensure that out-of-work actors and those in the artistic community in general are treated a little more sympathetically by the Department of Social Protection, particularly in seeking benefits, because of the nature of their work? These people are not technically...

- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Sep 2011)
Paschal Mooney: I applaud Senator Mullins for raising the issue of the unfortunate deceased, Troy Davis. As a member of the Council of Europe, I had occasion to visit the US with the relevant sub-committee. All members of the Council of Europe oppose the death penalty and I was part of an unsuccessful lobbying effort in the state of Illinois whose then governor had decided to introduce a moratorium on...
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Sep 2011)
Paschal Mooney: We should keep in mind that at a recent Republican Party rally, one of the leading contenders for the presidency of the United States, Texan Governor Rick Perry, boasted that his state had executed in excess of 200 people. He was asked by the interlocutor if he had sleepless nights over this, and before he could answer, the baying mob - the only way I can describe it - at the Republican...

Paschal Mooney: Apologies. I am aware Senators have undertaken a lot of research in this area. While we are dealing here with complex legislation, the chairman may only allow each Member the amount of time allocated in today's Order of Business. Before calling the next speaker, I welcome Councillor John McCartan who is in the Visitors Gallery. Councillor McCartan is a colleague of mine from County...
