- Energy Resources: Motion (Resumed) (20 Apr 2011)
Ciarán Lynch: There is no magic wand that we can wave over the ocean to make millions of barrels of oil appear. It is a myth presented in this debate that our economic difficulties will be abated by the proposals in the motion.

- Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)
Ciarán Lynch: I seek guidance from the Ceann Comhairle on parliamentary questions coming before the House. I note that parliamentary questions replied to by the Ministers responsible for health and tourism now give a timeframe for agencies such as Fáilte Ireland and the HSE. This is a welcome development because in previous Dáils when I put down questions in these areas Ministers told me that these...
