- Seanad: Aer Lingus Bill 2003: Second Stage. (3 Mar 2004)
Shane Ross: I flag my support for Senator O'Toole's amendment and I ask the Minister to consult his officials before this amendment comes up for debate next week.

The unions did not show loyalty and sacrifice when it was needed and did a huge amount of damage to the image of Ireland abroad when they closed down the...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Mar 2004)
Shane Ross: Due to the inclination of Members to raise issues on the Order of Business not strictly relevant to it, we often miss the Order of Business. I am concerned with the habit in the House of continuously passing, without debate and without noticing it, limits and restrictions on the debating of legislation. The important Aer Lingus Bill will go through the House in less than three hours today...
