- Seanad: Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (18 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: Before I call on Senator Mac Lochlainn to open the debate, I should say that I am conscious that this Bill has its genesis in tragic events, the cause of which has been the subject of discussion elsewhere. While I do not want to constrain Members unduly in their contributions, it is very important that Senators should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the...

- Committee on Public Petitions: Discontinued Mobility Allowance and Motorised Transport Schemes: Minister of State at the Department of Health (11 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: I am not a member of the committee so I appreciate being able to speak on this issue. I have been following the issue since I was a Deputy in the previous Dáil. I have also raised it on a number of occasions in the Seanad. We are talking about signing up to the European disability legislation but this is something disabled people had that was taken away from them. I accept the bona...

- Seanad: Budget 2018: Statements (10 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: I welcome the major milestone of a balanced budget on our road to recovery that has been achieved with today's announcements. To have done this as well as creating the conditions in our economic climate to enable unemployment to reduce from 15% to 6.1% has to be acknowledged. In doing that, there is much more to be done but the balanced budget allows us, going forward, to look at many more...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ryanair Service Provision: Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and Irish Aviation Authority (4 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: I may be first but as Senator Ó Céidigh has a meeting to attend, I will defer to him.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ryanair Service Provision: Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and Irish Aviation Authority (4 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: One reason I deferred to Senator Ó Céidigh is because of his expertise in this area. In hindsight, would the commissioner have done anything differently with regard to this issue? It caught everyone offside and Ryanair suggested it messed up. Would she have done anything differently or does she have experience of anything like this happening before? The IAA is very happy...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Ryanair Service Provision: Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and Irish Aviation Authority (4 Oct 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Working Hours of Pilots and Pilot Welfare: Irish Air Line Pilots Association (4 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: I acknowledge that we have been given a large amount of information. I printed it off last night, but I have not been able to read it all. I have glanced at it. It would have been helpful had we received a submission and then had this to use as reference to the context. I do not know whether it is possible now or whether we can have time to absorb what is here. We are starting off with...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Working Hours of Pilots and Pilot Welfare: Irish Air Line Pilots Association (4 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: At the previous meeting I proposed that we hear from the pilots first, but that was not possible. Deputy Mick Barry is correct that the delegates have been waiting for four hours. That implies a certain urgency in giving them a hearing, but it was important, given the detailed information the delegates would give to us, that we be able to put it to the supervisory regulator. It was a good...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Social Welfare Schemes (4 Oct 2017)
