Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (26 Apr 2006)

Paddy Burke: It is a pity this row between the Government parties was not sorted out before they came into the House but I, too, will wait with interest——

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (26 Apr 2006)

Paddy Burke: ——for clarification. I presume it will be sorted out this evening.

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (26 Apr 2006)

Paddy Burke: There is much indecision on the part of the Government parties about air transport and the Dublin Airport Authority. If Cork Airport, Shannon Airport and the regions are to grow, they must be given the freedom to do it. When the then Minister, Deputy Brennan, said that Cork and Shannon Airports were to be debt free, he must have had a reason for saying it and must have meant it. However, it...

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 May 2006)

Paddy Burke: I support the call for a debate on compiling the electoral register. I also support Senator Finucane's proposal. It is a great idea to get the students of the country to look after the electoral register. It would re-engage them with politics and would give them a chance to see what politics is all about. I have no doubt they would do a tremendous job as well. I ask the Leader to arrange a...
