Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Jul 2006)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader consider having a debate in the autumn session on the up-to-date position regarding the revision of the register of electors? I am sure this issue is close to the heart of many Members who are running for the Dáil in the next election. The Minister should be invited in here to explain the changes that have taken place and what progress has been made to ensure that the...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Jul 2006)

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Jul 2006)

Terry Leyden: I make this point on a personal basis. I have not been requested to do so by the Fianna Fáil Party. The Opposition could incorporate this measure or the Bill could include an amendment from me in the autumn to allow for all European citizens who work here for less than 12 months to vote in the next general election. They should have a say in how this country is managed and in the investment...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Sep 2006)

Terry Leyden: I call on the Leader to consider holding an early debate on the costs of energy. The regulator has approved a 23% increase in electricity prices from 1 January 2007. However, the cost of oil is decreasing. Earlier this week Flynn Fuel of the Downs in Mullingar was charging €580 for 1,000 litres of heating oil. That is, as far as I am aware, the lowest price for home heating oil in...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Sep 2006)

Terry Leyden: It was last updated on 7 August 2005. That is very current. I knew Fine Gael was out of touch, I just did not realise how out of touch it was. The Fine Gael Senators should visit the Fianna Fáil website which is very much in order.

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Sep 2006)

Terry Leyden: I intend to reactivate my name and shame campaign and ask that Fine Gael reactivate its rip-off Ireland campaign. I welcome the increase in free units from 1,800 to 2,400 as announced by the Taoiseach some weeks for social welfare recipients. I know the Cathaoirleach will join with me in sending best wishes to the Roscommon minor football team which won the all-Ireland after 55 years.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Oct 2006)

Terry Leyden: Would the Leader consider holding an emergency debate on the discontinuation of Smart Telecom's business with the loss of 400 jobs and the disconnection of 40,000 householders and consumers?
