Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities Provision (10 Nov 2015)

Paschal Donohoe: I also acknowledge what a very important and positive day this is. I am confident history will recognise the leadership role Deputy Jerry Buttimer played in allowing our country to get to this point. It is my sincere hope that the people of Cork will do so as well. I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. As he acknowledged, Exchequer funding of €30 million in support of the Cork...

Topical Issue Debate: Airport Promotion (21 Apr 2015)

Paschal Donohoe: ...am very much aware of the importance of this matter. The interest he has is shared with his constituency colleagues, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney, Deputy Jerry Buttimer and Deputy Ciarán Lynch. Before I comment on the importance of Cork Airport and our plans for it, I emphasise that the market for air services in the European Union is fully...

Road Traffic (No.2) Bill 2014 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) and Subsequent Stages (18 Dec 2014)

Paschal Donohoe: .... Deputy Bernard J. Durkan raised the issue of inconsistent speed limits. A review of this issue was published earlier this year and its implementation is under consideration. Deputy Jerry Buttimer also raised the issue of NCT centres, one to which I referred. In the past three hours many Deputies have raised detailed points in a constructive manner. I appreciate the indulgence...

Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures) Bill 2013: Second Stage (22 May 2013)

Paschal Donohoe: I wish to share time with Deputy Jerry Buttimer. One of the many pleasures of being able to contribute in the House is that by a quirk of good luck I always seem to follow Deputy Shane Ross. This is something I also experienced during the previous Seanad. On hearing his latest eloquent reflection, I was given pause to think there were two Deputy Shane Rosses. The first is the orator, the...

Health and Social Care Professionals (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Oct 2012)

Paschal Donohoe: ...of State for being present to hear what my colleagues and I have to say. I will make some points on the Bill and then comment on some of the broader issues raised by Deputy O'Donovan. Deputy Buttimer touched on some of these points earlier. I express puzzlement at the very low number of regulatory councils that have been established in recent years. Having read the background material...

Private Members' Business. National Monuments: Motion (resumed) (23 May 2012)

Paschal Donohoe: ...make about the site, however, might provide some cheer to people on the centenary regardless of where we stand on other issues. I echo the comments by the Minister of State, Deputy Costello, Deputy Buttimer and others. I acknowledge the huge work of the relatives and descendants of the 1916 leaders in keeping the flame of their memory alive. They have kept that flame flickering though...

Bretton Woods Agreements (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (15 Dec 2011)

Paschal Donohoe: I wish to share my time with Deputy Buttimer. Deputy Mattie McGrath did not draw my ire because I did not take any of his comments seriously.

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Jul 2011)

Paschal Donohoe: I also welcome the Bill. I pick up on a theme mentioned by Deputy Buttimer, which is the role of Parliament in political life. There is one consequence the Bill cannot be allowed to have. As we move to reduce the size of our political system, it cannot be done at the expense of reducing the effectiveness of the political system or the total amount of politics and democracy available in our...
