- Seanad: Social Protection: Statements (18 Oct 2012)
Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister to the House. She must feel a cold wind around her Department as the budget approaches.

I do not imagine there is anyone on this side of the House who would not support the efforts of the Government, led by the Taoiseach, to try to decouple the sovereign from the bank debt.
