- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functioning of National Lottery: Discussion (11 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: What were the average viewing figures for “Winning Streak”?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functioning of National Lottery: Discussion (11 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: There is also an issue with accessibility to some of the lottery products for older people. One of the components of this new TV game is that one has to go online. The numbers on the results sheets given out in the agents’ shops are not in sequence. It is a simple thing and I cannot understand why PLI has not rectified it yet.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functioning of National Lottery: Discussion (11 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: We are all here for the same purpose. The national lottery is indelibly linked with the Irish people. They have huge admiration and love for it. All of us want to see it succeed.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Conveyancing Survey Results January 2015: Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (11 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: I thank the witness for his presentation. He may not be aware that we have had a presentation on e-conveyancing from the Law Society and I believe we share the view that e-conveyancing is the future. Something that could take two months could be done in two weeks electronically. Has the IPAV set up a working group with the Law Society in a formal way to progress the whole principle of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Conveyancing Survey Results January 2015: Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (11 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: If I may be so cheeky as to give the witness some advice. From my limited experience, and the Chairman is around a lot longer than I am, I suggest that the witness set up a formalised working group and put together various sectoral interests campaigning for e-conveyancing. It has a far better chance of progressing with the auctioneers and the Law Society and others involved. I believe it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Conveyancing Survey Results January 2015: Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (11 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: There are rogue auctioneers the same as there are rogue solicitors and everything else, but I do admire the tenacity of the witnesses' defence of his profession. In terms of local authority development plans and zoning land, does the IPAV engage in lobbying or consulting with local authorities about zoning of land? Would the witnesses see a role for themselves in the whole area of informing...

Martin Conway: Shocking.
- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: Extraordinary circumstances.
- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: It is very difficult in many ways to disagree with Senator Jim Walsh but we will let the history books judge the performance of the previous Government because I do not particularly want to get into revisionism and all that goes with it. We have a serious problem with repossessions. What Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell and others have said is absolutely correct. It needs to be dealt with....
- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: Of course, we know Mr. Beades' seed, breed and pedigree and where his loyalties lay in the past. He has some neck to go on national television and display the arrogance he has shown in recent days.
- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: This gentleman is well able to go on national television and talk crap.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)

Martin Conway: It was amateur dramatics.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: It was a case of amateur dramatics at its best.

Martin Conway: Correct.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: Cheap jibes.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: I support Senator Ó Clochartaigh's comments on the McCabe case in Northern Ireland. Any act of terrorism is not acceptable. Certainly, we have made great progress in recent years and this case needs to be investigated by the authorities on both sides of the Border as a matter of urgency. I also support the self-employed. Thousands of self-employed people have gone out of business in...
- Seanad: Redress for Women Resident in Certain Institutions Bill 2014: Committee Stage (4 Mar 2015)
Martin Conway: I am the Acting Leader and while I would regularly agree with my colleague, Senator Ó Clochartaigh, in this instance the Minister of State has been forthright and abundantly clear. With respect to the legislation and the order of the House, we should proceed as planned on the basis that the Minister has been abundantly clear. The press release put out by an organisation outside this...
