- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Oct 2017)
John O'Mahony: I strongly support Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell's comments on post offices. People are confused, with redundancy packages being offered to postmasters and the chief executive officer making a statement that An Post would not close post offices. This is a crucial issue for rural and urban areas and clarity must be brought to the matter. Six months ago, there was confusion about which...

John O'Mahony: I thank all the representatives from Sport Ireland and the OCI for coming before the committee and for their presentations. This is the first time Sarah Keane has been before us as president of the OCI. I am unsure as to whether I should congratulate or sympathise with her on the onerous task for which she assumed responsibility in February. In any event, I wish her well in the reforms and...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Aug 2017)
John O'Mahony: I have far fewer questions for Sport Ireland anyway. I understand that Sport Ireland audits the accounts of the OCI every year. Considering that, why were some issues not raised in advance of this controversy? Were any concerns ever raised within Sport Ireland on how the OCI was being run? Mr. Treacy and Mr. Mulvey previously appeared here with Mr. Pat Hickey, the previous president,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Aug 2017)
John O'Mahony: I thank all of the delegates for their frankness. The meeting has been very helpful. Ms Keane and Ms O'Shea, in particular, had to be careful about the legal issues involved, but they demonstrated in their remarks how they could still be very helpful and frank. It is possibly a lesson for the people who did not partake in the Moran inquiry that they could still have been helpful without...

John O'Mahony: I welcome the Minister articulating the chronology relating to the events that occurred last year and the establishment of inquiry that produced the report before us. I agree that certain facts have been established in the report. There is also a view that the report raises more questions than answers and that if it had received the co-operation of other major stakeholders, Mr. Justice...
- Seanad: Business of Seanad: Air Safety (20 Jul 2017)
John O'Mahony: I thank the Minister for coming in to hear this debate. He is certainly earning his keep this morning and debunking the idea that everyone around here is on holidays. I thank him for that. I raise a serious point in regard to the standards of maps and charts used by the aviation community, including the emergency services. I have been contacted by individuals who represent those in the...
