Frank Feighan: I am sorry but it was mentioned on the radio yesterday.
- Seanad: Order of Business (30 May 2017)
Frank Feighan: I am only paraphrasing what was mentioned on the radio yesterday. This man was falsely identified as a convicted child abuser and he received vile verbal abuse from, effectively, a mob which followed him in Monasterevin in County Kildare. His photograph and his name were put up on a website. People who have any issues should contact the Garda. This man took refuge in a pub in...

Frank Feighan: I was approached by two families over the years. There are not many airline pilots in the west. I was delighted that a man from my home town qualified as a pilot 15 years and he worked hard for it. What is the failure rate in a school such as this?

Frank Feighan: I understand that is the model and sometimes the money comes back to the Exchequer tenfold as well. The PTC did not give a discount on the IAA charges for examinations. What is that fee?

Frank Feighan: On what basis do people decide to go to a flight school?
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 May 2017)
Frank Feighan: Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Targeting a concert attended by young people, many of them teenagers, is plumbing new depths of depravity and is truly a massacre of the innocents. Every Irish person stands in solidarity today with the city of Manchester, which has been devastated by a vile act of terrorism. We must remember that Manchester has a very proud...

The unit will operate as a satellite under the NRH. Almost a quarter of the patients treated at the NRH normally...
