- Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (20 Jun 2006)
John Dennehy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. As the Minister for Transport stated, this is the most important legislation to come before the House for a long time.

- Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (20 Jun 2006)
John Dennehy: The legislation will assist in this regard. Because of the mixture of complex issues involved, it is important the legislation can ultimately stand up to minute scrutiny, particularly in the courts.

- Health (Repayment Scheme) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2006)
John Dennehy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the repayment of charges which were found to have been levied illegally on elderly people, but the debate should go beyond that issue.
