- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I am pleased that reference was made to the individual who wrote that scurrilous article, which was riddled with ignorance, about this House and the Dáil. I will not enhance or otherwise refer to her further which would give her more publicity. She should check her facts. My late father, God be good to him, always bemoaned the fact that journalists, even in his time, did not check...

- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2015)

- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (16 Dec 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I take into account the fact that the Minister may not be in office within the next six months, not for personal reasons, but on foot of the cycle in which ministerial rotation happens in any administration. The future is uncertain and no one knows it. The Minister has been reported as welcoming the recommendations contained in the recently published Olson report. We have raised the report...

- Seanad: Prison Bill 2015: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (16 Dec 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I have a question on the issuing of warrants. I presume this is in the context of committal to prison. The Minister knows better than most that the prison population has been increasing. Does she have an opinion on the imminent implementation of the law next month? It will have implications for those who are, or could be, committed to prison for non-payment of fines, as happened in two...

Paschal Mooney: I thank the Chairman. Unfortunately, I must go to the Seanad so I may not be able to remain to hear the answers. I have a number of questions. May I clarify that we are talking about what I used to hear referred to as LPG, liquid petroleum gas?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Additional Uses of Natural Gas: Gas Networks Ireland (16 Dec 2015)
Paschal Mooney: Fine. Back in the 1970s, during the oil crisis, I converted my car to LPG, at a time when it was a pioneering move. People used to tell me it was very dangerous because there was a big tank at the back of the car and one could switch from petrol to gas. I used it for many years. There were stations across the country but it fell out of favour. People had an idea it was dangerous, but I...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Additional Uses of Natural Gas: Gas Networks Ireland (16 Dec 2015)
Paschal Mooney: I am sure Deputy Colreavy will have a question about that, so I do not wish to steal his thunder. Both of us are probably thinking the same thing but I will leave it to Deputy Colreavy to follow up on that question. I thank the witnesses.
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 Dec 2015)
Paschal Mooney: It is an understatement to say the ongoing images being transmitted on our television screens on the flooding of the Shannon, from Lough Allen right down to, and more acutely on, the third lake on the Shannon, Lough Derg, are raising considerable concern. One has only got to look at the images coming out of Athlone and further down river, and in south Galway, at the devastation that has been...
