Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State. The shocking revelations on the RTE "Prime Time" programme about the inspection procedures in crèches and child care facilities throughout the country appalled the nation. The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, in the immediate aftermath of the programme, promised a great deal of reform and I have tabled this matter in that context. As chairman...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Child Care Services Provision (4 Jul 2013)
Paschal Mooney: While I accept fully what the Minister of State said and I am pleased that arrangements are under way to recruit a replacement, the reply is not focused on my query in the context of child care inspections. He has referred to what the HSE is doing in the context of the overall complement of public health nurses. This matter is about child care and inspections of facilities. I hope in the...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Child Care Services Provision (4 Jul 2013)
Paschal Mooney: I understand the vacancy is not recent in the context of child care inspections. It may have become vacant recently in the overall context and I would be grateful if the Minister of State conveyed that point.

- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2013)
Paschal Mooney: I join colleagues in congratulating our friends in the United States of America on the anniversary of their independence. It is salutary to remind the House that not only is there a US Senate, but bicameral systems operate in all of the states and have done so since the 18th century. Obviously they are doing something right, but the message has not got through to the Taoiseach, who, I am...

Paschal Mooney: That is done deliberately.
- Seanad: Food Provenance Bill 2013: Second Stage (3 Jul 2013)
Paschal Mooney: I compliment our colleague, Senator Feargal Quinn, for introducing this initiative. He has a tough battle ahead of him. Judging from the Minister of State's reply, once again this will be kicked into Europe where the most powerful of all lobbies is operating. The food lobby is one of the biggest in Europe and features the major multinationals in particular. These have continually resisted...

The Minister of State has already been present to take some Adjournment matters, but this is his...
