- Seanad: Establishment of Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Motion (14 May 2014)

The members of the Sinn Féin Party did not speak to the motion but wanted to attack the Government on the decisions that have had to be made in the past number of years.

- Seanad: Establishment of Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Motion (14 May 2014)
Paul Kehoe: Some of the decisions that this Government has made in the past three year must be right as 1,000 jobs are being created a week, when only three or four years ago we were loosing 1,000 jobs a week.

I might not agree with everything that Senator Ó Domhnaill said, in particular when he said the inquiry will have no teeth. The inquiry has teeth. I would love if it had more teeth. If the referendum had been passed...

Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs and those who did not saw their lives change in other negative ways. As a country, we were stripped of our economic sovereignty.
