- Seanad: National Economy: Statements (Resumed) (6 Oct 2010)
Fiona O'Malley: The Senator should not shake his head. I am talking about well before that, going back to the 1980s. We need a constructive debate in this respect. In dealing with the economic crisis, there is a fundamental difference in those who follow stimulus or those who make cuts to deal with the deficit. The right approach is somewhere between the two, as there must be a level of austerity in...

- Seanad: Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Bill 2009: Second Stage (7 Jul 2010)
Fiona O'Malley: I welcome the Minister and thank him for staying as long as he has throughout the day. This is an important Bill, one to which he is clearly committed.

He has a reputation of being something of a conservative, but I find that he is far from being a conservative in introducing the Bill. It...

- Seanad: Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010: Second Stage (6 Jul 2010)
Fiona O'Malley: It is important when criticising a Government to be clear on what one is offering as an alternative. I found Senator Boyle's contribution inspiring.
