Terry Leyden: I move amendment No. 27: In page 48, line 31, after “Children” to insert “or the Health Information and Quality Authority”.To ensure the attainment and maintenance of high standards throughout all services, Barnardo's has recommended that the remit of the Health Information and Quality Authority be extended to include all services offered by the HSE. At present,...

Terry Leyden: I move amendment No. 29: In page 55, line 10, after “day-care” to insert “naíonra”.For the purposes of clarity and completeness, the definition of preschool services should be amended to include naíonraí, Irish preschool services. I am unsure whether it is absolutely necessary or whether all preschool services would be included. Will the Minister...
- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Report Stage (5 Dec 2013)
Terry Leyden: I accept fully the Minister's point of view. With different nationalities and religions coming into force, they would have different names for the various types of services. Therefore, we would have to define it and define it again. I accept that the general definition is clear. I am satisfied with it and I am not pressing the amendment.

- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Report Stage (5 Dec 2013)
Terry Leyden: Senator van Turnhout made her point very well. I am the only Member here who has been a Minister of State. The Minister should not be concerned about going back to the Dáil if she has something worthwhile. That is not a reflection on her or her senior officials. I amended Bills regularly that came before this House. This House has been given a new endorsement and a new mandate to...

Terry Leyden: Yes.
- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Fifth Stage (5 Dec 2013)
Terry Leyden: I congratulate the Minister on the passing of the Bill. It is a very important Bill as far as she is concerned and I suppose, along with the referendum on children's rights, it is the culmination of her work since her appointment as Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. It is a great day for children. This country has a lot of making up to do as far as children are concerned and I am...
- Seanad: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Dec 2013)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister to the House. This idea is very good and it has been promoted by Fianna Fáil and many others in the House. Having read through pages 1 to 7, I believe there is more red tape associated with the relief than any other. God be with the days when there was a simplified form to apply for a relief of this nature. There is an impression that there is a grant available....

- Seanad: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Dec 2013)
Terry Leyden: I thank the Minister for the good clarification on the position. In fact, I was going to make the point that if one carries out a certain amount of work, for instance, putting in a new floor and a wall built outside by separate contractors, and accumulates it, that is a good approach. There are 80,000 small contractors or small builders on the live register and they will avail of this...
- Seanad: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (12 Dec 2013)
Terry Leyden: Senator Hayden is not quite correct. There is a tax relief for a landlord who applies under PAYE. I see no difficulty. The Minister can clarify the position. If a landlord spends €5,000 on his or her property, that is a cost against the rent. There is no doubt about that. By the way, how can a tenant, who might live in the property for two months, three months or ten months more,...
