Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Seanad: Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Second Stage (6 Jul 2010)

Shane Ross: The Minister addressed the Anglo Irish Bank issue in his interruptions of Senator Donohoe but perhaps he might expand on the issues regarding NAMA he raised at the meeting of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service yesterday. NAMA's optimistic profit forecast has suddenly turned into a pessimistic loss forecast. Is he satisfied that the banks have been telling lies about the...

Seanad: Economic Competitiveness: Statements. (18 Oct 2007)

Shane Ross: ...IDA. I am afraid it fills me with even more fear about the future. I have no problem with what the IDA did in the past. I salute Senator Mary White's husband, who she does not acknowledge in her interruptions, and the great deal he did in the IDA, as did Michael Killeen and others before him. Let us salute all those people but ask what the mission statement means for the future. It...

Seanad: Roads Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Second Stage (7 Mar 2007)

Shane Ross: I take the Minister's point when he interrupts because I can hear some of his interruptions. He says it would have achieved nothing. I accept that there is a case to be made for those who say that the M50 is so blocked up at peak times that one will just have another block a little further up the road. It is possible. I do not know whether that is true. Certain consultants' reports have...

Seanad: Sustaining Progress: Statements. (27 May 2003)

Shane Ross: ...this document. I recognise that when a debate of this sort happens in this House, people take the opportunity to speak about anything they feel like. It is a very wide-ranging debate with very few interruptions from the Chair regarding relevance, simply because this document is so all-embracing that one can speak virtually on any issue affecting the public finances or public policy. What...

Seanad: Order of Business. (29 Jan 2003)

Shane Ross: This will not be a point of order. I can tell you in advance, a Chathaoirligh. (Interruptions).

Seanad: Order of Business. (24 Oct 2002)

Shane Ross: Thank you, a Chathaoirligh. If I could seek that debate without interruptions from the president of the ICTU, who has a vested interest which he has not yet declared, I would be grateful. The final point I wish to make is an important procedural one. Members of the House seem to be developing a habit of reading speeches in the House. That is a great shame.
