Terry Leyden: On the points raised by Senator O'Toole and others, I ask the Leader of the House to arrange a debate on consumer rights, pricing and the EUROSTAT survey.

Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jun 2010)

Terry Leyden: If there was a strong consumer group in every town, with prices being published every week in the local newspaper showing exactly who was the most competitive, the people would respond, as would Tesco, Dunnes and all the others.

Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jun 2010)

Terry Leyden: I have a question for him, to which I hope he will respond, although it might be more appropriate for the Cathaoirleach to do so. Senator Regan's contribution in The IrishMail on Sunday was extraordinary in that he was second-guessing the work of the committee chaired by the Cathaoirleach. I am surprised the Cathaoirleach is not taking action because I regard what the Senator is doing as...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jun 2010)

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jun 2010)

Terry Leyden: I welcome the statement by the National Treasury Management Agency that a €1.5 billion bond which was issued this week has been three times oversubscribed, which is an indication of the international confidence in our fiscal position. I also note that €1.4 billion was raised in the domestic retail savings market through prize bonds, saving certificates and the new national solidarity...
