- Shannon Airport: Motion (27 Sep 2007)
Noel Coonan: I thought the Ceann Comhairle might give us three and a half or four minutes each. Tipperary North is not as close to Shannon as the areas represented by my colleagues and other speakers. However, Shannon Airport has been a major driver of economic growth in north Tipperary. Many of my constituents and their families gain meaningful employment in the Shannon region. Therefore, this is a...

- Shannon Airport: Motion (27 Sep 2007)
Noel Coonan: Not only am I concerned about that matter, I am also concerned about the negative impact of the decision made. The perception is that Aer Lingus is the national carrier and provides a degree of security for Shannon Airport and that, therefore, industrialists invest in the Shannon region.

- Pigmeat Sector. (3 Oct 2007)
Noel Coonan: I wish the Minister and the Ministers of State, Deputies Wallace and Sargent, well.

Noel Coonan: Unlike Deputy Sherlock, the Minister does not owe me anything. I have a similar question in regard to the county hospital in Nenagh. There is a new CT scanner there which is not operational because there is no staff. It is crazy in the context of waste in the health service. What the Minister did for Nenagh hospital was to close 25 beds under the cutbacks and reduce it to a 75 bed unit....
