Hospital Services (5 Jul 2012)

Joe McHugh: ...in Letterkenny, the only one in the north west, approval for a second cardiologist and community commitment and involvement in respect of fund-raising, then we should bring all of this together and tap into the goodwill.

Corporation Tax: Motion (22 Mar 2011)

Banking Crisis: Motion (19 Jan 2010)

Joe McHugh: .... We had an opportunity to seek out the expertise of those who were displaced, namely, retired bank managers and other banking personnel.

Joe McHugh: ...a peripheral location on the Atlantic Ocean. We should consider the development of grant incentives in respect of tidal, or wave, technology. The Minister has missed that opportunity.

It has been suggested that...

Unemployment Levels: Motion (10 Mar 2009)

Joe McHugh: .... In my constituency, Marine Harvest, which is a local indigenous company operating in the area of aquaculture, possesses the type of resilience, experience and expertise into which we are not tapping.

Barron Reports: Statements (Resumed) (31 Jan 2008)

Joe McHugh: ...get carried away with ourselves and think we have all the answers. We feel we have to tell those in the gallery and the electorate what they want to hear. We all fall into that trap.

Joe McHugh: ...demeriting the smoking ban but maybe we should consider facilitating people in a room separate from the main public house.
