- Other Questions: Naval Service Vessels (18 Feb 2015)
Patrick O'Donovan: In the first part of the Minister's response, he gave a very good reason as to why Foynes should be considered.

I acknowledge it is very close to the bottom in the pecking order of the Department of...

During the First World War, the royal navy's north Atlantic fleet was tied up in Foynes for a period of time. There is a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Regulation of Gas Industry: Discussion (18 Feb 2015)
Patrick O'Donovan: I apologise for missing the start of the meeting. I had a question to ask in the Dáil Chamber, but I followed proceedings on the monitor. When I was listening to some of the contributions, I did a quick search of classified advertisements on Google. I do not know whether the CER relies solely on the public, but through Google I have a list of five or six people who are advertising as...

Patrick O'Donovan: While I apologise for being late, I caught most of the presentation on the monitor. The witnesses might forgive me if some of the questions I intend to ask already have been asked. On the presumption the witnesses have watched the joint committee's proceedings up to now in respect of the stakeholders that have appeared before members, I also presume they saw the presentation last week by...
