- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Operation of Caranua: Department of Education and Skills (15 Nov 2018)
Paul Gavan: I accept that. Many applicants to the fund will not have read the Act or the appeals officer's report. They will not know, therefore, that their application was denied unfairly. How does the Department ensure that survivors who are illiterate, who have only limited literacy or who are in institutional care receive the service to which they are entitled, given these breaches which have been...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Operation of Caranua: Department of Education and Skills (15 Nov 2018)
Paul Gavan: I appreciate the witnesses have had many questions to answer but I still do not understand why the statement says that since mid-2016, applicants to Caranua whose applications are not approved are notified in writing of their right to appeal and how to go about this, when the appeals officer himself, in the report published just one month ago, says "we continue to experience cases on this...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Operation of Caranua: Department of Education and Skills (15 Nov 2018)
Paul Gavan: The number of applications from Britain is particularly low and this is another indication that Caranua has not succeeded in reaching out to victims over there. There is so much evidence that Caranua is not fit for function. I understand-----

- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Nov 2018)
Paul Gavan: On Monday, I was in Hungary, visiting Government Ministers from the Fidesz party. They are a sister party of Fine Gael. They are both members of the European People's Party. We were there to talk about refugees and the detention of children. It was an interesting series of meetings with Government representatives. They cracked jokes about final solutions. A senior minister told us that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: European Monetary Policy: Exchange of Views with Mr. Mario Draghi (8 Nov 2018)
Paul Gavan: I appreciate it. Mr. Draghi is welcome. He is responsible for the supervision of Europe's banks. Unfortunately his job is to protect the banks and not the people. For example, many of us are very concerned that the European Central Bank, ECB, has always relied on the Single Supervisory Mechanism statute to shift responsibility for any kind of protection for consumers and distressed...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: European Monetary Policy: Exchange of Views with Mr. Mario Draghi (8 Nov 2018)
Paul Gavan: I thank Mr. Draghi for his answer. Just to clarify, is he aware that the Irish banks do not have to pay tax for the next 20 years?
