- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: Other countries which ruled the waves now waive the rules. I presume the House can also waive a minor rule to allow me to hear the Minister's views on this matter. We should not rush into a trade dispute with Russia over developments in Crimea. Ireland is a small country and such matters are addressed by major players such as the United States. The position in Ukraine was inflamed by the...
- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I am sure the new calf is called Simon if it is a male. I hope this important news has been conveyed to the Chinese leader. I ask the Minister to make this matter a priority because beef will not be produced if it does not make a profit. Ultimately, that would be bad for Ireland and exports. The Minister should acknowledge that the Food Harvest 2020 strategy was devised during the Fianna...
- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I was not present when the Minister spoke as I was otherwise engaged. I thank him for doing so. Everyone is playing a role in this matter. I was dismayed to learn that the Irish embassy in the Islamic Republic of Iran has been closed down. This was a vital embassy, which I used to meet and greet the relevant Iranian ayatollahs and ministers. I ask the Minister to intervene to ensure the...

- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Apr 2014)

- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: I join my colleagues in expressing my deepest sympathy to Senator John Kelly on the death of his beloved father, Kevin Kelly, and to his widow Mary and the family, John, Kevin, Bernadette, Anne and Claire, and his nine grandchildren. Kevin was a good friend and a wonderful community welfare officer in his time. He was in business up to his death. He was much loved in the community, as was...

- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: I received a document on the Internet this morning and I wonder if any of my colleagues received it too. It is allegedly from PayPal to the effect that “unfortunately your account is temporarily limited”. I have no account with PayPal. I want to bring this to the Cathaoirleach’s attention. I alerted the IT section in the Houses to have it taken down. It looks so...
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: I received it by e-mail this morning. I just want to alert my colleagues and the media to this issue. This type of activity is becoming very dangerous and is happening quite often. It is getting more sophisticated. If one receives an e-mail from someone in Nigeria who wants to off-load €7 million one knows it is pretty crazy and ignores it. I also compliment our colleague, Senator...
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: I have a vested interest in one. That type of effort came to mind when I heard the report yesterday. I hope Senator O’Donnell will come to the ploughing championship in Roscommon on 6 April. It will be on Frankie White’s farm in Castlestrange. She will be more than welcome. She can put on those-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: It is very relevant because Senator O’Donnell is very relevant to the Order of Business. She is always very relevant.
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: Yes. I want to pay a tribute to the former Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan. I will not go into detail about his decision to resign. That is being well orchestrated. I know him quite well, having met him at many events. He made an outstanding contribution to law and order in this State and that should not be diminished by the events of the past week or two. He fought the "General",...
