Seanad: Order of Business. (20 Apr 2010)

Paul Coghlan: I strongly support the call for a debate on banking. I refer to the five participating institutions in NAMA. There have been so many wrongs perpetrated on the taxpayer and we are doing so much for them to get it right that we are constantly in need of updates on these matters. It is timely for the Leader to arrange that. There should be no question of any increases whatsoever in salaries...

Seanad: Order of Business. (20 Apr 2010)

Paul Coghlan: It is true for you, a Chathaoirligh, and I respect that. I also support the call of Senator Hannigan in regard to the recent LAMA conference. The Leader should bear that in mind. It is important that this House would deal with those issues of great concern to the councillors of Ireland.

Seanad: Order of Business. (20 Apr 2010)

Paul Coghlan: Seriously, many of them are investing so much time and energy in serving their communities, I fear they are being misunderstood at the top, and that is wrong too.

Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Apr 2010)

Paul Coghlan: I share Senator Ó Brolcháin's appreciation for the debates in the House on banking. Perhaps we are fortunate that the Government's plans for Anglo Irish Bank are with the European Commission. As Senator Alex White noted, Anglo Irish Bank poisoned the well a long time ago. The action being taken now is an example of closing the stable door long after the horse has bolted. This is the...

Seanad: Order of Business. (31 Mar 2010)

Paul Coghlan: Whatever about people being shot, heads must roll. With regard to the banking crisis, I have repeatedly said we need a wholesale replacement of the key executives and the boards. This has only happened in Anglo Irish Bank. It has not happened in AIB and Bank of Ireland. No disrespect to the Minister for Finance, but we need-----

Seanad: Order of Business. (31 Mar 2010)

Paul Coghlan: We need a steadier hand on the tiller. I welcome the provision in the Central Bank Reform Bill, as published yesterday, which requires and aims to ensure proper fitness and probity of nominees to key positions in banks. This is long overdue. Due to the fact taxpayers are putting so much extra equity shareholding into the two main banks with large branch networks, the Minister should insist...

Seanad: Banking: Statements (31 Mar 2010)

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and I thank him for his introduction to the debate. I had to smile when listening to Senator Butler. Some Members find it very difficult not to be blatantly political about the issues of the day. I assure the Senator that he will not get that kind of contribution from me. I welcome this debate. We are in an appalling mess. We cannot do good...

Seanad: Lost at Scheme: Motion. (31 Mar 2010)

Paul Coghlan: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Connick, and congratulate and wish him well with his new portfolio. I view this motion as non-political. The speech I most enjoyed was Senator O'Toole's, not that many good points have not been made on both sides of the House. In fact, I must admit I do not see a difference between the motion and the amendment. I am also delighted that it has been...
