Paul Coghlan: Of course there must be debt restructuring and re-profiling. It is very simple. It happened in our case. I accept that the Greek situation is worse. Of course the maturities need to be lengthened and the interest rates lowered.

Paul Coghlan: I hope the Greeks are sensible in what they bring to the table this evening. It is plain that Mr. Varoufakis had to go. Mr. Tsipras insisted on his departure, and was supported by his other colleagues in doing so, because Mr. Varoufakis had openly insulted everybody in the last few months.

Paul Coghlan: I have no doubt that he would get on famously with Senator Norris. I would like to see the Senator on the back of his bike.
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2015)
Paul Coghlan: He was never serious about negotiating. At least Senator Norris would be wise enough to wear a helmet. Senator Bradford referred to clashes between Kerry Senators. I want to put it on the record that I have never clashed with Senator Ned O'Sullivan.

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Auctioneering Licences (2 Jul 2015)
Paul Coghlan: I recently attended the AGM and conference of the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers, of which I am an honorary member. Quite a number of its members spoke about a certain matter at the event. While I was aware of one instance I must confess that I had not heard such concern before. Apparently, there are a number of unlicensed auctioneers operating throughout the State. A...

Paul Coghlan: I am grateful to the Minister of State for his response. I am glad to hear that there have been some prosecutions and that the authority is investigating a number of outstanding cases. In terms of the people whom I heard speak about this matter, and one or two individuals spoke to me directly, I will communicate with them and have them examine the register which is available. I shall...

Paul Coghlan: What happened yesterday in the vicinity of the front gate of Leinster House was shameful and disgraceful. Certainly, it was not related to peaceful protest. I am delighted to hear this morning that the other House has taken action and that the Garda Commissioner will be in the Houses tomorrow morning to discuss the matter. We are all aware of the constitutional position, and while we do...

Paul Coghlan: The Senator from Haggardstown asked some pertinent questions today and it is interesting to hear Senator Cullinane following on from them. While we all empathise with the Greeks, as Senator Jim D'Arcy stated, nothing will be resolved without dialogue and the parties involved sitting around a table. The problem will have to be solved eventually through dialogue. I wish to briefly discuss...

Paul Coghlan: I wish to fully endorse the Cathaoirleach's welcome to Ann Widdecombe this morning who has done so much to champion the cause and to promote the right to life. It is appalling what is happening across the water from us and in other places, that so many lives are being lost in the womb as is happening throughout the world. We would want to be very careful not to travel down that slippery...
