- Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2007)
Fergal Browne: I second Senator Burke's amendment to the Order of Business. I ask that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform be asked to come to the House in the dying days of the Seanad to discuss the issue of the Director of Public Prosecutions who can be slow to progress cases. On Pat Kenny's radio show many victims expressed their frustration. In some instances their cases were not heard....

Fergal Browne: Concerning the car crashes yesterday, I compliment the role of radio in alerting motorists to the problem, in particular local radio stations which played a key role in what was a tricky situation.

- Seanad: Health Bill 2006: Committee Stage (27 Mar 2007)
Fergal Browne: I wonder if subsection (3) of section 42 is somewhat vague. It would be very easy for the chief inspector to refuse to answer questions on difficult topics if legal cases are pending but these are the topics that will be raised at meetings. Easy questions will not be raised at committees, even if the chief inspector is before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children or a...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2007)
Fergal Browne: I agree with previous speakers with regard to Northern Ireland. Politics has won out and the one thing we can all learn is that violence led to nowhere except to polarisation.
