- Seanad: Order of Business. (19 Dec 2002)
Shane Ross: I endorse what previous speakers said about having a debate on the partnership talks. That would give Senator O'Toole an opportunity to explain to us how he voted one way on the budget in here but said something different on television. That would be interesting.
- Seanad: Order of Business. (19 Dec 2002)
Shane Ross: That would give this House a role in those partnership talks which have broken down. I would also like to endorse what everybody said about John McCabe. He deserves his benchmarking. Nobody in this House or in my career in the financial world has given me better financial advice over a long period than John McCabe. The day Eircom was floated, he was the first person to say to me that he was...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (17 Dec 2002)
Shane Ross: I support Senator Leyden. It is important to put on record our views regarding diplomatic relations with the Nigerian Government. Will the Leader introduce legislation on what is rather pompously known as corporate government executive pay? It would be particularly appropriate if she addressed herself to this matter on which she has great expertise. The Leader was instrumental in the...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (17 Dec 2002)
Shane Ross: Would those in this House who are free marketeers, that is the vast majority of us, consider this an appropriate occasion to interfere in the free market, thus preventing such people from robbing small shareholders of their money?

- Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Dec 2002)
Shane Ross: I add my voice in 100% support of the point raised by Deputy Ryan. The idea that The Irish Catholic should not be allowed to advertise is absolutely appalling. I say this as a member of the Church of Ireland. Were it the case that the Church of Ireland was forbidden under the same rule there would be screams of sectarianism towards the minority here, rightly so. We should urge RTÃ to get its...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Appointments to State Boards. (3 Dec 2002)
Shane Ross: Will the Minister for Transport outline the criteria used in appointing members of State boards under his aegis, particularly Aer Rianta? The reasons I bring up the issue are very obvious. It is currently a very topical matter, particularly as it relates to the board of Aer Rianta which is in the middle of a public controversy. The reason any objective person would assume one is appointed to...

Shane Ross: If I may, I will exercise my right to a supplementary question.
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Appointments to State Boards. (3 Dec 2002)

- Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Nov 2002)
Shane Ross: Will the Leader consider having a debate on a controversial issue which relates to an area in which she is an expert, that is, the future of our semi-State bodies? In such a debate, we should ask why and for how much longer we can allow the boards of semi-State bodies to be politically appointed. I am glad the Chair is in a benign mood this morning. A controversy arose in the past week, which...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Nov 2002)
Shane Ross: We could sit on the board of Aer Rianta.
