- Seanad: Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (12 Oct 2010)
John Carty: I welcome the Minister and thank him for coming back to us within six months on this important issue, the Common Agricultural Policy post-2013.

- Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Oct 2010)
John Carty: I condemn the bombing last week outside a hotel in Derry which, fortunately, did not result in any loss of life. I and many of my friends in Northern Ireland had thought that day had passed. People in Northern Ireland do not want a return to having to look over their shoulders in case a bomb goes off and maims or kills people. The PSNI is doing a reasonably good job and must be credited on...
- Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jun 2010)
John Carty: I support Senator O'Toole and many other colleagues who spoke on the EUROSTAT. It is damning that a quote cannot be given by the factories for lamb given that we have the second highest prices in Europe. Will the Leader ask the two relevant Ministers to come into the House? As Senator Ellis outlined, there is a cartel which has to be broken if farmers are to get an equitable price for...

The actions taken by the Government will ensure that the economy will be well placed to take advantage of the international recovery.

- Seanad: Innovation and Job Creation: Statements (22 Jun 2010)
John Carty: Yes. I agree that the position regarding the visa system must be examined. However, it would be a positive development if Chinese were placed on the junior and leaving certificate curricula. This must happen and I am delighted the Minister has taken suggestions in this regard on board.
