- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Jan 2014)
Terry Leyden: Mr. Flannery is the man who brought Fine Gael back to power. He is an excellent operator. The Minister has made a pre-emptive strike because what is coming down the line as far as Rehab is concerned will be shattering.
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jan 2014)
Terry Leyden: I wish Senator John Whelan well in his new position as acting leader of the Labour Party.

- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jan 2014)
Terry Leyden: I compliment The Irish Times and two of its writers, Colm Keena and Arthur Beesley, on an exposé today on the goings-on at Rehab. It relates to the activities of a director who has a dissolved company but billed Rehab for €66,000 in 2012 and €11,000 in 2011. As the Taoiseach said, he is lifting stones and the maggots are coming out. They are not Fianna Fáil maggots,...
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jan 2014)
Terry Leyden: Laragh Consulting Limited was dissolved in 2009. Yet it could bill Rehab in 2011 and 2012. It is an extraordinary event for anyone in the country that a dissolved company could bill a national organisation for such money. I know that there are dirty tricks operating within Fine Gael and that some media are rather compliant when it comes to the activities of the dark forces behind the...

He should know what is going on. If he does not know what is going on, then he should not be Minister. Mr. Flannery said that having destroyed their business, the Minister was now making accusations against them and that it...
- Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jan 2014)
Terry Leyden: This, even though the decision to pay Mr. Kiely was made by the Minister for Health because he knew what was going on. We should be careful about what is going to happen. The Government may have been upset when it discovered that a former director of elections for Fine Gael is now in the middle of a major controversy.

- Seanad: European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (23 Jan 2014)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, to the House. The Fianna Fáil Party supports the European Parliament but opposes the legislation which unfairly deprives Ireland of a strong representation in Europe. The reduction earmarks Ireland for reduction as part of the accession of Croatia as the 28th state in the Union. The reduction...
