Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: Perhaps one of my colleagues on the Government benches will draw the Taoiseach's attention to what I am sure was an accidental omission, or perhaps the Labour Party just cannot get on the Taoiseach's website.

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: I am seeking a debate on the prohibition of religious advertising on the Irish broadcast media. It seems to me that every crackpot superstition can be advertised, including tarot cards or psychics live. Recently, I heard one of the Sunday newspapers advertising somebody who was going to tell us all about angels in two parts. I do not know whether the angels were in two parts or the article....

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: Is trua é go raibh rudaí ráite ag deireadh na díospóireachta aréir faoi Chomhaontas Mhuileann gCearr, agus má tá daoine chomh dáiríre sin faoin nGaolninn, b'fhéidir go bhfoghlaimeoidís í. Bhí an seans céanna acu is a bhí agamsa an Ghaolninn a fhoghlaim, agus níl aon rud eile ag dul leis. Má tá siad dáiríre faoin nGaolninn, is é an chéad rud le déanamh náí a fhoghlaim...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: Seans nár thuig siad mé. I asked yesterday for a debate on Aer Lingus and specifically on the business case that has been made. I still have not heard the business case. The Taoiseach announced in the Dáil yesterday the best advice. The Leader knows more about these things than I do. Has she met an international consultancy yet which ever recommended anything other than an IPO for a State...

Níl mé cinnte gurbh é an rud ab fhearr go mbeimis go léir ar aon aigne faoin nGaoluinn. Ba cheart dúinn a bheith ar aon fhealsúnacht faoi...

Seanad: Order of Business. (5 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: I wish to be associated with the compliments to my two colleagues on the recognition for themselves and for this House. While it seems it will not happen, I would like to have a debate in advance of legislation on the proposed sale of a majority stake in Aer Lingus.

Seanad: Order of Business. (5 Apr 2006)

Brendan Ryan: Contrary to what people might imagine, I do not carry any ideological baggage about State ownership per se, nor about the opposite. We must learn from our experience and should do what we believe will work. Manifestly, the privatisation of Telecom Éireann did not work in terms of providing us with the scale of investment and dynamism that we wanted. Eircom is now being lauded by various...
