Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (26 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I extend a céad míle fáilte to the Mulroy family and, on behalf of Fianna Fáil nationally and locally, express our deepest sympathy on a sad loss. The Mulroy family sat through most of the earlier proceedings during which tributes were paid to the late Deputy Nicky McFadden. Throughout it all, there was a common theme that she was a lady and someone with no enemies. The...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I rise primarily to express sympathy to the McFadden family on the death of poor Nicky, and also to express my sympathy to the Fine Gael Party for their sad loss. She was an outstanding public representative who was cut down in her prime. I cannot find any cause for complaint with all the eulogies that have been uttered so far today. Her legacy will remain long in the memory in this House....

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: On a point of order-----

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I am glad that the Senator acknowledged the point I was trying to make, but to then construe that my contribution was in any way against the Fianna Fáil Party's position to support the motion is mischievous; it is untrue.

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I have not. The Senator is only fuelling mischief.

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: What does that prove?

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: And in favour of Christmas.

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: I am not speaking for my colleagues. I am only making my own observations based on my experience and what I have heard at various committee meetings. The simple fact of the matter is that we have had a lot of international investment in offshore projects in the past 30 years and what have we got for it? The Kinsale field - that is what we have got. No gas has come from the Corrib gas...

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: There is a particular element of Sinn Féin's motion on which I want to reflect and question. The motion calls for the creation and implementation of an all-Ireland energy policy that would clearly state how our renewable energy targets would be reached. The British Government has embarked on the development of a support mechanism for hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom which,...

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: Sinn Féin is on a loser because the British Government has already decided on this issue. Sinn Féin representatives are talking out of both sides of their mouths. When they are in County Leitrim, they are against fracking, but when they are in County Fermanagh, they are more mute about it.

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: They know the facts. That is my main concern about the motion.

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: It is the only thing that annoys me about Sinn Féin's position on this issue. Why does it not state it is going to fight to ensure there will be no fracking in County Fermanagh?

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)

Paschal Mooney: Let us see the results.

Seanad: Renewable Energy: Motion (12 Mar 2014)
