Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)

Paschal Mooney: The House will be aware of the controversy arising from tapping of the telephones of journalists, supposedly in the national interest. Those of us who follow American television programmes, will be aware of the term "in the interest of national security". I am a great fan of the series "The Good Wife", which tells the story of a political family in Chicago which is dealing with the courts....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Regulation of Gas Industry: Discussion (18 Feb 2015)

Paschal Mooney: ...down that road and would the merchants respond to that? In the context of an answer to the question about the number of merchants, inspectors and resources, is it feasible for the CER to give a tap on a shoulder at the point of sale, asking whether somebody is registered? Mr. Giffney mentioned a figure of 20 boilers sold every day. My colleague, Deputy Moynihan, wished to ask about the...

Seanad: Universities (Development and Innovation) (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (28 Jan 2015)

Paschal Mooney: ...Therefore, because of our growing and expanding economy and because of the success of foreign direct investment, Ireland is a competitive environment for international companies. They know they can tap into an increasingly sophisticated and well educated cohort of young workers. What happens to the people who fall through the basket, net or cracks of education? I refer to people who...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jul 2014)

Paschal Mooney: ...interesting times. In England, there is a practice that when a barrister is being promoted to the bench, he or she does not receive a letter or a telephone call but actually gets what is called a tap on the shoulder. I have no doubt but that many Members of both Houses are wandering around today, waiting for the tap on the shoulder. It is a great honour for people to be elected to...

Seanad: EU Scrutiny and Transparency in Government Bill 2013: Second Stage (24 Oct 2013)

Paschal Mooney: ...monitored by US security forces. Given that the Tánaiste represented this country at EU Presidency level up to some months ago, it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that his mobile telephone was being tapped as well because of the important role he was playing. I would like to hear some assurance that it is not happening in the context of this country. If the allegations are...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Apr 2012)

Paschal Mooney: ...quality, Ireland actually has excellent water quality. While I appreciate that there were particular difficulties in County Galway, it has been proven time and again that the water coming out of taps is generally as good as, if not better than, the bottled water for which one pays €2 or a minimum of €1 in one's local store. No question marks surround the quality of water. The...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2011)

Paschal Mooney: ..., the film is based on activities of two or three years ago but it shows the experience of fracking procedures in America and how it yields the most astonishing results, such as turning on one's tap and having an explosion come out of it as a result of the mixture of chemicals. I do not wish this issue to become another Corrib gas controversy. Allegedly, there is more than 6 billion cu....

Seanad: Tourism Sector: Statements (21 Oct 2010)

Paschal Mooney: ...her well in her continuing discussions with them. I agree with Senator Cannon that there is a patriotism about Mr. O'Leary, despite his capitalist inclinations. Perhaps this is what we should tap into and the Minister is working on. I wish her well in that regard. I will be interested to see whether I receive a reply from Mr O'Leary, whom I have met and admire greatly. I understand...

Seanad: Role of Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Statements (18 May 2010)

Paschal Mooney: ...groups and singers on radio between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., but one will hear them after 7 p.m. at 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. I have never been able to understand the reason programme controllers have not tapped into what is an exceptionally popular form of music. I will quote a specific instance. My friend and colleague, Senator Ó Murchú, raised this issue some years ago when there was great...
