- Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: That statement may appear to justify the prejudices of the entire RISE! campaign but contrary to popular belief, not every member of the Green Party is a vegetarian and some of them, including Deputy Mary White, have hunted.
- Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: As I indicated on Second Stage, my personal beliefs in terms of what I would like the Green Party to do and what is achieved in the programme for Government are two different things. The Green Party will continue to honour the programme for Government until we negotiate a new one, possibly as coalition partners with Fine Gael after the next election. That party would do a much better deal...

- Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: Despite all the comment about the Green Party and the end of rural Ireland, if Fine Gael needs the votes of Green Party Deputies to make Deputy Kenny Taoiseach after the next general election without the double-speak of Deputy Gilmore, it will come to us and we will negotiate.
- Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: I was referring to a wider issue raised by Deputy Hogan when he suggested the Bill was the thin end of a wedge that would go far beyond the narrow confines of the legislation. I can play fantasy politics as much as anyone else. The Minister tabled amendments in response to genuine concerns. Who will blame a Minister for proposing amendments during Committee and Report Stage debates? This...

- Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: This motion to call an early election is opportunistic, cynical and pointless.
- Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: One could cite many reasons for calling an election and I would relish it. Fianna Fáil have squandered the fruits of the boom and filled the pockets of their developer paymasters. However, an election will not be called. The two parties favouring an election would be seriously inconvenienced if one were called. Voters would be given the choice between an incompetent Fianna Fáil...
- Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: Today, Deputy Gilmore said we need to be free from the politics of the past. His speech was "Back to the Future" - the same old populist cant. Deputy Kenny spoke about dodgy donations from developers. He continues to take them himself. He knows all about them. The Labour Party talks the talk. When the Green Party tabled a motion on corporate donations in 2006, the Labour Party tried to...

Paul Gogarty: Fianna Fáil has been accused of being all things to all people.
- Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)
Paul Gogarty: The Labour Party says nothing to anyone in case it offends any party. We need leadership. We are staying in government to plough on with the implementation of the green policies that are needed.
- Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)
