- Registration of Deeds and Title Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (24 Nov 2005)
Joe Costello: How will this appear in our computerised system? Has Northern Ireland engaged in this process ahead of us? Do those people with land on both sides of the Border have a computerised register of title for the land in the North but not for that in the South? These anomalies need to be reviewed. The major issue is to have all the land registered. The system cannot be computerised until it is...

- Estimates for Public Services 2006: Motion (Resumed). (23 Nov 2005)
Joe Costello: The most significant aspect of the Estimate for the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform for 2006 is the confirmation that the Government has formally abandoned the commitment to increase Garda numbers by 2,000 within the lifetime of the Government.
