Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Apr 2003)

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Apr 2003)

Terry Leyden: Confidences do not rest easily with Senator Norris. I will say no more than that. I would still welcome his support in due course.

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Apr 2003)

Terry Leyden: I thank the Leader of the House, Senator O'Rourke, the Fianna Fáil Whip, Senator Moylan, and all the leaders of the parties and groups in the House, Senators Brian Hayes, O'Toole, Ryan, Norris and Maurice Hayes, for their support for my motion yesterday. Seven Palestinians were killed last night in the Gaza Strip during an Israeli attack. A war to oppress the Palestinian people is going on...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Apr 2003)

Terry Leyden: I am not debating that motion. I am debating the situation that occurred last night, which is being hidden by the fog of the war in Iraq. I suggest to the Leader that we send a delegation from the House to Palestine to meet the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, and to view, at first hand, the oppression of the Palestinian people by the Israeli Government.

Seanad: Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage. (16 Apr 2003)

Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State and thank him for his detailed analysis of the Bill. Like the Opposition, we have received many submissions on it. I could summarise them very fast by saying the main concern is the level of turnover at which the appointment of an auditor is required. The Companies (Amendment)(No. 2) Act 1999 puts the level at €317,000. When it comes to the drafting of...

Seanad: Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Second Stage. (16 Apr 2003)

Terry Leyden: The Senator said the threshold across the Border was £1 million, which equates to between €1.5 million and €2 million. That level should be set by order rather than constant changes in legislation because in ten years, €2 million will represent quite a small turnover. In fact, the turnover of a small builder, building about three houses per year, could be over the threshold set down in...
