Seanad: Health Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (29 Mar 2007)

Paschal Mooney: I wish to put this on record. I also wish to put on record the genuine opposition of those of us on this side of the House towards the general approach that is taken whenever local authority members are involved. This section again debars local authority members from being considered for membership of the boards. This is not about councillors being appointed; it is about stopping them from...

Seanad: Health Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (29 Mar 2007)

Paschal Mooney: If one is nominated to Seanad Éireann, one will have to cease membership of the board. Senator Feeney was a member of the Medical Council while serving as a member of this House. If this provision were in place at that time, Senator Feeney would have had to resign from the Medical Council. The expertise she had acquired and the knowledge she made available as a member of the board would...

Seanad: Ethical Foreign Policy: Motion (28 Mar 2007)

Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Haughey, to the House. I congratulate him belatedly on his recent promotion and the good job he is doing in his brief.

Seanad: Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries Bill 2006: Second Stage. (27 Mar 2007)

Paschal Mooney: I extend a hearty céad míle fáilte to the Minister of State with responsibility for fisheries. I reflect on the historic nature of this day.

This debate...

It is a humbling experience to feel part of living history and be aware that what happened yesterday will probably form the last chapter of future history books on the peace process. What is significant about yesterday is that it is the ending of a partition of the mind, as inferred by Senator Maurice Hayes, in...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2007)

Paschal Mooney: I support Senator Quinn in his call for a debate on road safety. Much of what Senator MacSharry has said would reflect my views. Focusing on some aspects of Senator MacSharry's contribution, namely, the timeline in which many of these accidents take place and the age cohort involved, it has already been proven statistically that almost a third of accidents involve this younger age group....

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2007)

Paschal Mooney: We all accept that passive smoking is a killer. What about the passive promotion involved in this, which plants the idea in the minds of people, particularly young people, that all they have to do is go into a supermarket and buy ten cans of beer, getting another ten free?
