- Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. John Horan (29 Jan 2019)
John O'Mahony: I welcome an t-uachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Mr. John Horan, on this historic occasion.

As Mr. Horan pointed out, the GAA has its roots and tentacles in...

John O'Mahony: I am glad to support this Bill about the regulation of gift vouchers and commend the Minister for progressing the legislation to this point and hopefully to completion.

It has been talked about for some time and I am glad to see that it has...

- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Dec 2018)
John O'Mahony: I want to raise an issue I have raised on numerous occasions, namely, the motorised transport grant. It relates to the issue raised by Senator Dolan regarding people with disabilities. These grants were suspended in 2013. They allowed people to get to work and allowed families to care for their loved ones in their own homes and to bring them to appointments and hospitals. It was suspended...

There must be compassion for both the mother and the unborn. Compassion is not something...
