- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2008)
Paul Coghlan: I second Senator Frances Fitzgerald's proposal in regard to the amendment to the Order of Business. This is a very serious and sharp economic downturn. I do not think any Member on either side would deny that. Contrary to what was said by the Taoiseach, as quoted by Senator Fitzgerald, we need to worry very much about construction because everything is contracting. The cranes are coming...
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2008)
Paul Coghlan: As ever, I accept what the Cathaoirleach says. I asked the Leader some weeks ago to allow a debate on the local electoral areas that were announced recently. I understand he was favourably disposed. I am sure they are wise in most respects but in the other House last week Deputy Healy-Rae drew attention to an anomaly, and I endorse what he said in that regard. l do not understand how...

Paul Coghlan: ââare removed from Killarney to Killorglin. That is just one instance but there are many other anomalies. I am sure the Cathaoirleach is aware of such cases in the midlands. It is important that we have the debate. I am not sure about the Bill to which the Cathaoirleach referred. I believe he is referring to the Electoral (Amendment) Bill relating to the new Dáil constituencies...
- Seanad: Order of Business (24 Jun 2008)
Paul Coghlan: I join other colleagues in calling for a debate on the economy. I especially support Senator Frances Fitzgerald's point that the most urgent item on our agenda is today's ESRI report. It confirms everything that we had privately suspected and feared for some time. Owing to the domestic factors highlighted therein, we need to know urgently the Government's proposals for our way out of this....

Paul Coghlan: Senator Regan's important and worthwhile proposal for a rolling debate on the implications of our rejection of the Lisbon treaty has received support from Members on all sides of the House. Senator Ross drew our attention to the article in today's Financial Times. The French have just realised that, as many of us knew, tax harmonisation was never a runner. It is good to see the French...

Paul Coghlan: Hear, hear.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2008)
Paul Coghlan: In this time of sharp economic downturn I agree with the comments of my colleague, Senator Fitzgerald. There is great shock on the wide price gulf between North and South. I refer to basic foodstuffs, for which the supermarket giants charge double in the South. All our National Consumer Agency says to the people is "shop around" while it conducts surveys. I wonder if it is a toothless...
- Seanad: National Theatre (4 Jun 2008)
Paul Coghlan: I thank the Minister for being in the House at this hour to take this Adjournment matter given that he is not the Minister responsible and has had a long day in the Chamber. We all realise the importance of the Abbey Theatre not only to the greater Dublin area but the country at large. It is our national theatre and the idea of developing a new theatre at another location in central Dublin...
