- Seanad: Order Of Business (12 Jun 2014)
Paul Coghlan: Members have heard a lot about democracy here. I support the motion, which I hope will allow Members to move on. It is good for the House that there will be four Senators on the committee rather than two. Moreover, as Members will be aware on foot of the release by the Committee on Procedures and Privileges that was issued yesterday evening, this of necessity in its initial stages is a...

Paul Coghlan: As ever, I recognise that Senator MacSharry is a consummate actor. This morning he appeared to speak in measured tones which were much at variance with some of his more recent utterances in the House. That is an attribute he has acquired from years of experience on stage, which I acknowledge. Nobody wants to have a row over this matter but it was clearly understood that of the two Senators...

- Seanad: Companies Bill 2012: Second Stage (10 Jun 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I warmly welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Sherlock, to the House and thank him for his comprehensive overview of this Bill, which is fairly comprehensive itself.

I do not have much to say simply because I paid attention to the Minister of State while he was speaking and cannot disagree...

Paul Coghlan: I join the Cathaoirleach in welcoming the active county councillor in the Visitors Gallery, Ian McGarvey, and warmly congratulate him on his recent re-election. He puts many others to shame. Speaking of green shoots which my colleague Senator Michael D’Arcy mentioned, it is almost 50 years to the day since the late Dr. James Ryan, as Minister for Finance, re-opened the magnificent...
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jun 2014)
Paul Coghlan: No, this is a wonderful story and is very relevant. Several years ago, there was a Cabinet meeting in Muckross House. I happened to be present there at the time to facilitate other matters. It might be appropriate on the 50th anniversary of its re-opening that we have a meeting of the Seanad there. This is a matter the Cathaoirleach might consider. It is a wonderful story of co-operation...

Paul Coghlan: -----the story of the House itself, the late Billy Vincent and his people, the Bourn Vincents, after whom 11,000 acres of the 27,000 acre national park was called. We should not forget that nor the people who were associated with that on behalf of the State, such as Dan Kelleher, the manager in 1964, and all those since such as Paddy O’Sullivan and Pat Dawson. Considering Muckross...
