- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I certainly agree with the Order of Business.

Mr. Leahy notes: "Just three items on the Seanad agenda". He seems to be referring to all of Tuesday's business, so people looking in today for a debate on the National Concert...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Dublin Airport Authority (18 Jan 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Despite being the Chair, I do not get the perk of going first. I am last on today's first round. I thank all the representatives for being here. We have covered a lot but I will return to a few matters. I never appreciated that Good Friday was such a bad day to travel before now.
