Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Dublin Bus: Chairman Designate (23 Sep 2014)

Paschal Mooney: He would be too modest to say so, but our colleague, Senator Barrett, was our lecturer in TCD, I understand. There is a common interest there. I wish Mr. Courtney well. If anybody was to headhunt a chairman of Dublin Bus he would be at the top of the list in terms of his CV. It covers all the bases. Given the fact he has worked his way up through the organisation I do not think...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Dublin Bus: Chairman Designate (23 Sep 2014)

Paschal Mooney: People felt that enough was enough in terms of pay cuts. Is Dublin Bus out of the woods in that regard or will it always be a question of balancing the books by the amount of money given by the Government? I would be very supportive of the view expressed by Deputy Ellis. I am a strong supporter of public subvention for the transport industry because I do not think any public transport...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Paschal Mooney: First, I wish to put on record the appreciation of this side of the House for - I am sure all sides of the House will support the good wishes to - Mr. David Begg, the general secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, who has announced his retirement, to take effect next March. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Begg when he was an active member of the Forum on Europe. He will be...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Departmental Staff Redeployment (17 Sep 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I thank the Minister of State for taking this matter, which arose as a result of media reportage that there is to be relocation of State jobs from the facility in Tubbercurry in County Sligo, which comprises civil servants from the Departments of the Environment, Community and Local Government and Social Protection. Following media comments local councillor Jerry Lundy raised the issue on...

Paschal Mooney: It was the original figure in 2006.

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Departmental Staff Redeployment (17 Sep 2014)

Paschal Mooney: Inevitably the news was not going to be very good. Has any consideration been given to retaining the ten jobs in another location in Tubbercurry? They will be lost to the town. I understand it is possible, not only with regard to the Department of Social Protection but also the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, that there may be requests for transfers to other...

Seanad: Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (17 Sep 2014)

Paschal Mooney: In case there is a sense that Senators on this side of the House are silent on the contribution made by my colleague, I would like to emphasise that we fully support this amendment. It seems to me from a reading of section 12 of the Bill that it would simply be a matter of a change of wording. Section 12 provides for cases in which "the death occurs during the first 7 days of life of a...
