- Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Feb 2006)

- Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Feb 2006)

- Seanad: Order of Business. (15 Feb 2006)
Paschal Mooney: I endorse all that has been said about the Stardust tragedy and, in particular, I echo the remarks of Senator O'Meara about the two RTE programmes. At a time when public service broadcasting is coming under yet another round of criticism this was a perfect example of why we should continue to support such broadcasting. I wish to draw the attention of the Leader of the House to recent remarks...

Paschal Mooney: There has been no Cabinet reshuffle.
- Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Feb 2006)
Paschal Mooney: I endorse much of Senator Ryan's remarks in respect of the country of origin issue. Like me, he has received much correspondence from the main supporters of this campaign in Ireland, namely, Burma Action Ireland, which is to be commended for highlighting this matter. The issue is of course linked to the junta in Burma, or "Myanmar", as the junta likes to call it. The Minister of State at the...

- Seanad: Child Care Investment Programme: Motion. (1 Feb 2006)
Paschal Mooney: I join Members on all sides of the House who have welcomed in broad terms the Government's child care initiative that was announced in the budget. I am sure the House will endorse the comments which have been made about the new office of the Minister for children. The Minister of State with responsibility for children, Deputy Brian Lenihan, has brought the various disparate elements of child...
- Seanad: Food Promotion. (16 Dec 2005)
Paschal Mooney: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. Today's edition of the Irish Independent carried a full page article on the dangers of obesity, not only directed at young children but on the dangers of excess eating for all of us over Christmas. It makes sobering reading and breaks down into specific areas the calorie intake which even for a mince pie, will add 283 calories to one's daily...
- Seanad: Food Promotion. (16 Dec 2005)
Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture and Food, my friend and colleague, Deputy Brendan Smith, to the House for what is a timely Adjournment motion in light of the excesses in which all of us will inevitably indulge over the Christmas period. I would like to focus specifically on the report of the National Heart Alliance, entitled Position Paper on Marketing of...
- Seanad: Development Banks Bill 2005: Second Stage. (16 Dec 2005)
Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. It is significant, given the time of year, that Ireland is once again showing it is prepared to spread its prosperity to more disadvantaged areas of the world. Our decision to become part of the Asian Development Bank raises political issues regarding the various programmes in which it has been involved. Ireland has taken a strong position on the...

- Seanad: Development Banks Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages. (16 Dec 2005)
Paschal Mooney: During the wide-ranging response on Second Stage by the Minister of State, a number of Senators raised the question of governance. I would be grateful if the Minister of State would reassure the House that governance will form a large part of the Irish engagement once we become involved in the dialogue on the dispersal of funds in the Asian Development Bank. I will not reiterate the arguments...
