Terry Leyden: It is the same Taoiseach, Government, advisers and people who will try to attack Members of this House for allegedly delaying the legislation going through. We will find that they will issue little pieces to the newspapers here and there.

Terry Leyden: I know from where they come. I know their work. The way it was worked in the case of Deputy John McGuinness was unreal. We had drip-feed day by day.

Terry Leyden: The Minister of State did not know Henry Grattan. That is the point.

Terry Leyden: That is the point. We are talking about the situation there. Some MPs were raised through peerage or promoted, for example, from a baronet to an earldom, and in a few of those cases direct money bribes were made. I do not think any money bribes were made here but a few people have been promoted quite lavishly by this Government and they have forgotten their roots very fast. They have...

Terry Leyden: -----against their own principles. They will not vote in favour of the abolition of Seanad Éireann because they have too much respect for themselves and their tradition. I hope this section will be beaten by the people when they reject the proposal to abolish Seanad Éireann, and in that case they will have their ultimate power. I believe they will not abolish Seanad Éireann...

Terry Leyden: I will follow the same example.
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (15 Jul 2013)
Terry Leyden: I concur with Senator Mulcahy. What he said is absolutely accurate and fair. I ask the Clerk of the Seanad to find out from the commission the exact cost of the House on a yearly basis. It would be fair and equitable that we know exactly what the House costs and the savings which could occur. On that basis, I want to confirm with the Leader that, on Wednesday night at 7 p.m., we are...

Terry Leyden: This House is supposed to have free speech.
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (15 Jul 2013)
Terry Leyden: I ask the Leader to confirm that the Bill is still before the House. Has the Bill been passed? Has it been signed by the President? Will the President refer it to the Supreme Court? I want it confirmed by the Leader that this is the case. How can the Taoiseach announce an election campaign that has not yet commenced and appoint a Minister, who should be bloody well busy enough trying to...
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (15 Jul 2013)
Terry Leyden: They are spending €150,000 or €200,000 on this wasteful campaign. I hope Deputy Regina Doherty gets her taste of Deputy McEntee in the next election. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Terry Leyden: The Cathaoirleach should let me finish, I will not take long. The other evening, a Minister of State was forced to resign. It never happened in the history of the State. She made derogatory comments-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (15 Jul 2013)
Terry Leyden: The Cathaoirleach should let me finish the point. I will not be misrepresented, as I was last week in this House. Deputy Creighton made very derogatory comments about Mr. Haughey. Mr. Haughey never fired a Minister of State on the telephone.
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (15 Jul 2013)
Terry Leyden: That is a very good point.
