Paschal Mooney: On a point of order and before Captain Cullen responds, I do not want to give the impression that I am against the concept of State-owned interests.

With the exception of Sabena, they all required outside investment in order to survive. That is all I wanted to say.

- Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jan 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I support the call of my colleague, Senator Marc MacSharry, for the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Joan Burton, to come before the House to account for the correspondence to which he referred. As our party's social protection spokesperson, I have raised the issue on several occasions without success. I was not able to get even the most minimal response on how much it would cost to...

It is on the record, although the witnesses did not say it, that...

Paschal Mooney: I welcome the Minister to the House and thank her for her substantive response to Senator Barrett's Bill. I compliment Senator Barrett. Like my colleague, Senator Ó Domhnaill, I am happy to be here to contribute in a small way to supporting Senator Barrett's initiative.

- Seanad: Gender Recognition Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Jan 2015)
Paschal Mooney: Absolutely. The substance and depth of both contributions exceeded anything I can bring to this debate. I kept thinking that it must be unimaginable for someone to become aware of being born in the wrong body. I commend the Government on this initiative, which we support. I also support much of what Senator Cullinane said. The Bill is inherently flawed in several areas. It is very...
- Seanad: Gender Recognition Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Jan 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I was anxious to make a contribution, albeit a relatively modest one, because, primarily, on our side of the House the two contributors from Fianna Fáil were the female members of our parliamentary party. I want to ensure the message does not go out that this was a gender-based contribution only and that, in fact, the contributions of both of my distinguished party colleagues reflect...
