Irish Economy: Motion (18 Feb 2009)

Frank Feighan: ...to break up the cosy relationship between Fianna Fáil, the big banks, the developers, the regulators and senior public servants which has concealed waste and the failures of this Government and destroyed the fundamentals of our economy.

Seanad: Hospital Infections: Motion (14 Feb 2007)

Frank Feighan: ...in this respect. The Government has thrown vast sums of money at the health service. We have all attended conferences and I am sure some Members have visited Holland.

Seanad: Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 1999: Second Stage. (24 Nov 2004)
