- Nursing Homes: Motion. (27 Sep 2006)
Paul Connaughton Snr: I have taken part in a number of discussions on nursing homes in recent years. The catalogue of failure is nothing other than a disgrace.

- Disposal of Shares in Aer Lingus Group plc: Motion. (6 Jul 2006)
Paul Connaughton Snr: I wish to share time with Deputy Deenihan. Ireland and Aer Lingus have come a long way since 1936 when the Government decided to establish a national airline. The company instilled pride and confidence in a fledgling State which, as with most new democracies, had to stumble before it walked. For many years, the only visible international symbol of Ireland was the famous shamrock on the...
