Terry Leyden: I second the motion tabled by Senator Averil Power and signed by the majority of Members. I thank the Leader of the House who I understand will accept the motion as a unanimous decision of the Seanad. It is an historic day.

Terry Leyden: I agree with Senator Brennan because all the Oireachtas Members have been literally thrown out of their hotels, but it is a bit late at this stage to have a debate on the issue. The bird will have flown and their customers will have returned home.
- Seanad: Order of Business (4 Nov 2014)
