Paul Coghlan: Senator John Crown fell slightly into the same trap. He referred to Mr. Justice Smithwick. I can assure him he had all the time he needed and produced a fine report. He never quibbled about the extensions he had sought and that were granted. We can have every confidence in this work and look forward to its bearing fruit.

Paul Coghlan: I was interrupted a great deal this morning by the other House. I thank the gentlemen for their attendance, presentation and answers. I will be brief. How many voluntary surrenders of a dwelling have there been in the past 12 months and where there were such surrenders, does the bank pursue the borrower for the balance of the debt? With regard to small and medium enterprise, SME, owners...

- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Apr 2014)
Paul Coghlan: I, too, would like to be associated with all the tributes paid to Jody, all of which are well deserved. I, too, found her ever helpful, particularly when I was Acting Chairman. Whenever Jody was there when one was in the Chair, one could not go wrong. I am extremely grateful for her help. I am sure we will get together again outside this House. Reference has been made to the state visit....

Paul Coghlan: Senators O'Brien and O'Sullivan made valid points, but I am no longer amazed at Senator MacSharry's performances and how he allows himself to get carried away. The Sligo school of acting has much to answer for.

Paul Coghlan: Not at all.
- Seanad: Order of Business (3 Apr 2014)
Paul Coghlan: Senator MacSharry was disgraceful. There are two issues involved here, and we would not want to get carried away. One is cost control, which Irish Rail must address. Its accounts show it has a job to do there. Equally, we cannot expect, as Senator MacSharry implied, that the taxpayer must continually be screwed for everything, regardless.
