Seanad: Beit Collection: Statements (18 Jun 2015)

Terry Leyden: The point of order is that the Minister is misleading this House. She has given inaccurate information to this House and its Members. I regard what she is doing as very serious. She did not read the 1997 Act to which I referred. Section 49 of it states that "The Minister may by order declare any document, which is in his or her opinion of national, historical, genealogical or literary...

I understand the Minister, Deputy Charles Flanagan, is attending a meeting of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade and accept totally that he is unable to be present. I, therefore, welcome the Minister of State with special...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Foreign Conflicts (8 Jul 2015)

Terry Leyden: I am intrigued by the Minister of State's statement that the question of recognition of Palestine, or of any state, is an important issue to be considered on its own merits and not as a punishment or reward for one side or the other.Ireland recognised the State of Palestine's right to exist. To my recollection I think there was a motion passed in this House-----

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Foreign Conflicts (8 Jul 2015)

Terry Leyden: I suggest to the Minister of State that this would be a very positive step because it would show where we stand in that regard. It has been the policy since the time of the late Brian Lenihan senior to recognise the two-state solution. He was the first Minister for Foreign Affairs to bring that forward and it has been the policy of successive Irish Governments.
