It was obvious at the time there was no personal iPod on any of the fisherman. There was no such mechanism where fishermen have been lost at sea and their bodies have never been found.

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Martin Ferris: With regard to overclaims, as the Minister is probably aware, I was at a meeting in west Cork a week or so ago, attended by more than 400 people farmers from west Cork. Many of them claimed they are losing between €3,000 and €5,000 as a consequence of this. That might be the accumulated figure or the yearly figure, I am not sure but I will work on the basis of the accumulated...

- Recent Severe Storm Damage: Statements (16 Jan 2014)
Martin Ferris: I was reading recently about the Night of the Big Wind - Oíche na Gaoithe Móire - which occurred on 6 January 1839.

People referred to events as having happened before or after the Night of the Big Wind. In more contemporary times, the people of Kerry remember...

Great credit is due to them. What is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Civic Forum for Northern Ireland: SDLP (16 Jan 2014)

I find it disturbing that the Unionist veto has prevented full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement. Perhaps the witnesses would comment on whether in their view the Governments are doing enough to ensure full implementation of that Agreement.
