Terry Leyden: Is it on the Order Paper?

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: It was published and it was circulated this morning. On the Order of Business,-----

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: -----when is it proposed to take the Bill in the House? Is it a Government Bill or a Private Members' one by Government Senators? Given the current debate on the consumption of alcohol, I am horrified. Government Senators should be more concerned about the fact that there is no proper control of the pricing or distribution of alcohol in supermarkets. The two days of the year when pubs are...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: For publicans and their families,-----

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: -----surely it is only right that they have a day to rest, reflect, enjoy their time together and attend a service in recognition of the foundation of the Christian church.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: My time is not up yet.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: I am still in the Seanad and my time is not up. I would like some explanation from them. I am surprised Senator Colm Burke's name is on the list.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: Is Senator Colm Burke trying to justify his Bill to enable drinking on Good Friday?

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: I am inviting the Senator to respond to my question.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: A little over the top.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: I hope the Senator votes against his own colleagues.

Seanad: Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Fund Bill 2014: Second Stage (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: As one of the signatories, I am honoured to support Senator Marc MacSharry's Bill. It would provide substantial funding for the implementation of a range of measures to reduce the rate of suicide in Ireland. It is broadly based on the Senator's policy document, Actions Speak Louder Than Words, which was published last year. I compliment him on taking the initiative to try to reduce the...

Seanad: Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Fund Bill 2014: Second Stage (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: Two days a year, on the birth of Christ on 25 December and the day of his crucifixion, Good Friday, are marked by Christians throughout the world. Surely we could observe them by the closure of public houses. I oppose that Bill not as someone who is a shareholder in a pub but on a personal basis. Publicans may have different views, but I believe Good Friday and Christmas Day are two days...

Seanad: Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Fund Bill 2014: Second Stage (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: It is very relevant because it would allow for drinking on days when it was previously restricted; it would remove the restriction on Good Friday. I hope the Minister will not be tempted to back his colleagues in the Fine Gael Party. The Leader of the House is a signatory to that Bill.

Seanad: Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Fund Bill 2014: Second Stage (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: I believe the Acting Chairman seconded the motion when the Bill was brought before the House yesterday. I am talking about the Intoxicating Liquor (Amendment) Bill 2014, published-----

Seanad: Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Fund Bill 2014: Second Stage (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: No, I am not. The point I am making is-----

Seanad: Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Fund Bill 2014: Second Stage (2 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: Encouragement of the sale and consumption of alcohol does not contribute. All I am saying is that people have a chance and opportunity to reflect on Good Friday. I second the Bill and commend Senator MacSharry on his initiative in this regard. He has put a lot of work into this and I hope the Government accepts his Bill and rejects the other Bill mentioned.

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: I would like the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to come to the House to discuss SI No. 226/2014. The issue has been highlighted by Senator Daly over a long period because most legislation is by way of statutory instruments and does not come here for scrutiny. By coincidence, this statutory instrument came into force on 1 June 2014, days after the local...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: He does not look a day over 39.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (8 Jul 2014)

Terry Leyden: Again.
