Seanad: Order of Business (13 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I would be happy with an analysis, as would other Members on this side of the House, because it would be discovered and concluded that not everything that happened under a Fianna Fáil Administration was responsible for the collapse of the world economy. I refer the Leader to the global economic forum in the Far East that concluded yesterday at which the Chinese Deputy Prime Minister stated...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: They decided last February, but all I would say to the Senator is what goes around comes around. The CAP proposals were discussed at European Parliament level earlier this week. Will there be an early opportunity for the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to come into the House to give an indication of what precisely is the Government's thinking on the CAP and the proposals as...

Seanad: Public Policy and Planning: Statements (13 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. The Minister of State is particularly welcome given that this is the first time he has addressed the House. I wish him well in dealing with his onerous responsibilities in the Department of the Taoiseach and not least in his role as Government Chief Whip. I echo the Leas-Chathaoirleach's comments in expressing the hope that the Minister of State will...

Seanad: Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (18 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I am aware this has been gone into previously but it is important to examine the context and the background of this legislation, which is to be welcomed. A great deal went on in the past 15 years but I suggest that the virus that led to the economic collapse we and the world economy are facing goes back to the Reagan-Thatcher years when they decided that the market would decide, that light...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: We will not oppose the Order of Business. The fallout from the job losses at Aviva continues to reverberate throughout the country. It is now obvious that there are some underlying difficulties affecting not only Aviva, but also the wider financial services industry. It seems apparent that our high cost base has led to job losses in many companies operating here, coupled with the meltdown...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I support Senator O'Neill, who has done a valuable public service in raising this issue and I support him in this regard.

I remind the Member that it was a Fianna Fáil-led Administration which set up the tribunals and the conclusions of those tribunals resulted in several Fianna Fáil politicians receiving jail...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: Perhaps Sinn Féin, which experiences collective amnesia, is attempting to encourage people to have collective amnesia about the atrocities it committed on this island in the name of Irish republicanism. Its members have some neck.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: They have sullied the flag and the good name of republicanism. As someone who had to emigrate to England, I was subjected to anti-Irish feeling in Britain when they were bombing innocent people to kingdom come. They have some neck.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I hope people will reflect on that. I recommend that Senators read three articles in last week's Sunday Independent, which showed exactly where Sinn Féin stands. It is time its members subjected themselves to scrutiny and accountability. How dare they?

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Oct 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I support the call to bring the Minister for Justice and Equality before the House. As Senator Ó Murchú noted, serious issues are continually emerging on the referendum and I strongly support the view, in the interests of the Government's proposals, that the relevant Ministers come before the House to clarify the precise implications of the two referendums.
