Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Greyhound Industry (3 Oct 2019)

Shane Ross: ...the board commissioned a report from a firm called Preferred Results but when it received that report, it was not published. That report contained some unacceptable findings, including the fact that 6,000 dogs were culled simply because they could not race fast enough and that there was a culture of doing that sort of thing in the industry, which was obviously accepted. On top of this,...

Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry Regulations (13 Feb 2018)

Shane Ross: ...glad that it is being raised in the House, particularly after the briefing given to all of the spokespersons last week. I know that the Deputy will understand it has been a very difficult journey dogged by legal problems for nearly two years which has led us to this conclusion, with which I am happy. It was not easy because there will be people who, no matter who is appointed as the...

Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Motion (Resumed) (27 May 2015)

Shane Ross: ...His arguments were very weak and particularly feeble. He said that we should not worry, the headquarters would remain in Dublin. It is a meaningless, token gesture. One could have a headquarters with two men and a dog and we can be sure that is what we will have eventually. He said it would be registered in Dublin. That is laughable. One can have a brass plate and be registered in...

Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive
Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012
Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014)

Shane Ross: ...later. Is that okay? I have some important questions for later but I will leave them. I will finish this section on the CRC medical devices company. Mr. Conlan came in. This company was a dog. It lost money every year. I cannot understand why it lost money because there were significant margins and its competitors seemed to be making money. According to research that I have done,...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits (Resumed) (10 Oct 2013)

Shane Ross: Would Dr. Neavyn be surprised if it turned out to be a one man and his dog type of operation?

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (21 Nov 2012)

Shane Ross: ...European Union, tonight and tomorrow, that the budget can be discussed but we intend to regard the Anglo Irish Bank promissory notes on 31 March as a priority. The musical portrays us as perceived lapdogs. I am not one for knocking the Taoiseach or the Tánaiste abroad but the musical has the message that we did not all party. Some people did, some people did not and some did not...

Prospects for Irish Economy: Statements (Resumed) (24 Oct 2012)

Shane Ross: ...naked figures from the report yesterday are startling and illustrate to the Minister, to me and to others that although there is a crock of gold in the pensions industry, it is all being taken by the top dogs in that industry, and this is continuing. There is a crock of gold, but for some reason the Government is captured by those in the industry and is taking no action whatsoever. ...

Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 May 2012)

Shane Ross: What the Central Bank said yesterday confirmed the tragedy facing so many people in mortgage arrears. I am worried, however, that yesterday's warnings from the watchdog have not been heard. The dog that did not bark in 2008 is barking very loudly today. I hope the Taoiseach has not missed the warning that came from the big guns in the Central Bank, namely, the Governor and the deputy...

Budget Statement 2012 (6 Dec 2011)

Shane Ross: ...on the agenda, that is, the Irish debt, and that he looks for a write-off of the Irish debt. I want the Taoiseach to spoil the party. I do not want him to go to Europe and be some sort of lap-dog to the big powers. I want him to say he is Irish, we are in trouble, which they landed us in, and that he is going to spoil their party unless the write-off of the debt is not only on the...

EU Summits: Statements (26 Oct 2011)

Shane Ross: ...boys of Europe and top of the class, what are we getting in return? Are we getting any reciprocal clout at the tables of Europe? Does anybody really listen to Ireland? We are in the political dog house and the European dog house and we have accepted that position by lying down and rolling over. That is not the position we should be in. Greece has constantly deceived, rebutted, opposed...

Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2011 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Sep 2011)

Shane Ross: ...episode. The PMPA followed about two years later. This was a massive insurance company which dealt mostly in motor insurance. It had been built up in a completely unregulated manner. The dogs in the street knew that the person in charge, Mr. Joe Moore, was very well connected with Mr. Charles J. Haughey and it was believed that he was protected and encouraged by people in Fianna Fáil...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jan 2011)

Shane Ross: ...chairman and former chief executive of a rogue bank should have such easy access to the Taoiseach. This happened not once or twice but three times and, as I believe Senator Fitzgerald noted, the dogs in the street were barking about Anglo Irish Bank before Mr. FitzPatrick's first such encounter with the Taoiseach. One knew there was something dodgy about Anglo Irish Bank, even if one...

Seanad: Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) (Amendment) Scheme 2010: Motion (29 Sep 2010)

Shane Ross: ...or patriotic judgments. They are saying the situation is dire and that perhaps one of the banks will default or be allowed to do so by the Government. The problem being signalled by the dogs in the street and in the markets is not that Anglo Irish Bank is a basket case and beyond redemption, as now acknowledged by the Government because it is going to wind it down, and not just the price...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2009)

Shane Ross: .... I ask the Deputy Leader if we can possibly hold a debate in the Seanad on the budget in advance of its announcement. Although I am doubtful about it, the Government seems to listen to every dog on the street about the necessary measures, but we are never given the opportunity to outline our views until the budget is published and, therefore, we become irrelevant. If the Government is...

Seanad: Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Act 2008: Motion (17 Oct 2008)

Shane Ross: ...be allocated but, undoubtedly, one of the main reasons we are in such a big mess today is reckless lending by the Irish banks to property developers with the connivance of the Government. The dogs in the street are barking about this, but it was not mentioned in the Minister of State's speech. There are three parties to this. The global problem is one aspect; that is fine. However, the...

Seanad: Road Safety: Motion. (14 May 2003)

Shane Ross: ...wish to produce the funds and tell us from where they are coming, that is fine but to talk about funding this, that and the other in isolation is apple pie and ice cream because they made a dog's dinner of funding initiatives when they were in power. Let us be honest about it. They were put out of power because they were not so good at managing Ireland's finances as the Government. I say...
