Seanad: Finance Bill 2011: Second Stage (28 Jan 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State. Listening to Senator Ross, there can be no doubt but that the general election campaign has well and truly begun. I must confess that I share many of the misgivings expressed by the Senator, who has been consistent in his opposition to the social partnership process, particularly in its latter years.

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (26 Jan 2011)

Paschal Mooney: I join colleagues in expressing my deepest sympathy to Bríd and the family on their sad loss. Although I knew Séamus in his later years and was honoured to get an occasional letter from him expressing his opinions on foot of a political development either in my own life or in general, which always was much appreciated, he was more a contemporary of my late father, Joseph Mooney, who also...

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (26 Jan 2011)
