Terry Brennan: Níl aon rud le rá agamsa faoin alt seo. Suffice to say that I have never been to a fortune-teller. I do not know whether anyone else has been, but I have never listened to so many fortune-tellers as in this House, speaking about how Irish Water should be operated or the difference between customers and clients. The person who pays the bill is the customer and that customer might...

- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jan 2015)
Terry Brennan: I have often raised the issue of fuel laundering. At the time, it related to the question of the number of containers of sludge being deposited on the roads of north Louth and Monaghan, but the situation has grown more serious. We do not know the quantity of sludge that is being dumped into the tributaries, rivers and lakes that, as Senator Jim D'Arcy mentioned, comprise the main source of...
- Seanad: Water Services: Motion (21 Jan 2015)
Terry Brennan: Not at all. Senator Wilson knows more about meters than I ever will.
- Seanad: Water Services: Motion (21 Jan 2015)
Terry Brennan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire ar ais go dtí an Seanad. Regarding metering, the lifespan of meters and why it is important to have them installed, most meters are expected to last considerably longer than the manufacturer's 15-year design life rating for the product. Experience in the UK has shown that meters installed more than 20 years ago are still operating. I could take the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Jan 2015)
Terry Brennan: In three days time, we will recall the second anniversary of the callous killing of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe in the community of Lordship in north Louth. It is only right, proper and appropriate for us to do so. It is difficult to believe that two years have passed since that happened. Tempus fugit, time flies. It is difficult to accept that the callous killers are still at large....
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Jan 2015)
Terry Brennan: The investigation is ongoing on a daily basis. The Garda is totally focused. Once again, I appeal to anyone who has information that could bring this investigation to fruition to speak up. Co-operation between the Garda and the PSNI is to be applauded but we need the help and support of individuals in south Armagh and in north Louth. They can use the confidential lines to ensure the...

Terry Brennan: The national broadband plan aims to ensure that every citizen and business, regardless of location, has access to a high-quality high-speed broadband service. This will be achieved through a combination of commercial investment and State-led intervention in areas where commercial services will not be provided. The commercial telecommunications sector is currently investing approximately...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of Planning and Development (No. 1) Bill 2014: (Resumed) Discussion (27 Jan 2015)
Terry Brennan: I also thank the representatives of the Association of Irish Local Government, the Local Authority Members Association and the City and County Management Association for their attendance. I will not repeat some points that have been taken up. Affordability is certainly an issue. As Councillor Brophy noted, it will be difficult for anybody to get onto the first rung of the housing...
