- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I support the call by Senator Ivana Bacik regarding the situation in Ukraine. It would be very worthwhile to have the Tánaiste come in and brief the House on the situation.

This morning we heard the Foreign Minister of Spain complimenting the Russian Foreign Minister on oil...

It would certainly discourage this competition coming back here again....
- Seanad: Child Protection: Motion (5 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: That is fair enough. I assure the Senator that I never entered any of my children in one of those competitions. My own daughters enjoyed participating in Irish dancing competitions. I recall the green skirts and simple white blouses they wore, with no make-up or any of that. They went along to dance and enjoy themselves, not for the competition as such. They received good training and...
