Paul Coghlan: I want to be associated with all of the warm, kind-hearted and well deserved tributes paid to the late Peter Callanan. Everything that has been said about him is true. We all felt close to him. I came into the House with him in 1997. He used to tell me about what happened at party headquarters and I probably had an affinity with him. We were always able to identify with one another on...

Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)

Paul Coghlan: I share Senator O'Toole's concerns with regard to banking, which has experienced the worst type of nightmare.

He also stated, "Trust has been broken with customers, shareholders, regulators and with the State". He further stated that without State aid,...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (17 Jun 2010)

Paul Coghlan: I will be in line with other Senators' requests. While our debates on banking have been important, will the Leader assure the House that we will debate the draft terms of reference for the commission of investigation, not matters we have already discussed?

Paul Coghlan: This is such a vast subject one would not know where to begin. I welcome both reports, which were referred to as scoping exercises.

I am glad to note they will come before the Houses and we will have a...

Paul Coghlan: In supporting the amendment to the Order of Business, I am respectful of your earlier ruling, a Chathaoirligh. It would be important that the debate be begun by Senator Callely. Failing that, can the Deputy Leader inform the House whether the committee that will deal with the matter will report to the House today? How does he see finality being brought to this matter? The Taoiseach asked...
