- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (2 Jul 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I have not lost my way yet. Senator MacSharry should examine his own conscience. Respectfully, there is an element of misinterpretation, which is why we should hear the Minister. As the Leader said the last day, we should take a little time. We need balance in all matters and must be calm. We cannot have a properly functioning economy without the banks, whether we like it or not. Of...

Paul Coghlan: Hopefully, they have enough under their belts to proceed. Certain cases have been initiated although they will not be heard until next year. The DPP and Garda should be encouraged. If the Chamber must have some dialogue with them, I encourage the Leader to consider the matter.

Paul Coghlan: Another sterling performance.

Paul Coghlan: I refer to Senator MacSharry's colleague. I have never been populist. I am sure Senator Leyden was well able to handle those Anglo Irish Bank tapes while he was in Strasbourg. We should remember, despite all of their contribution to the mess this country is in, that none of its representatives was present on the night of the bank guarantee. I agree fully with Senator Comiskey on the...

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. We often hear the word "democracy" and phrases like "democratic principles" and "democratic ideals". They are easy to say but difficult to establish and even more difficult to maintain. Democratic principles establish a rule of law, respect human rights and promote active politics. It should be an unwritten commitment of every public...

Paul Coghlan: It is good to see Senator Norris back in the House and in his usual good form. I congratulate Major General Michael Finn on his appointment as head of mission and chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation. This is not just a great honour for Major General Finn, it is also a great honour for the Defence Forces and the country. I wish him well. I salute the superb...

- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)
Paul Coghlan: I agree with Senator Darragh O'Brien. Naturally, we are all equally inquisitive about the new code of conduct in regard to mortgages and I agree with him that the Leader should arrange a debate in early course because there are fears about the way financial institutions are lining up to dispossess hundreds, if not thousands, of homeowners. That is something we cannot afford to have in our...
