Terry Leyden: Members of the Garda Representative Association, GRA, are outside the gates of Leinster House today. They have a legitimate grievance and a realistic expectation that the matter will be resolved. Gardaí are providing security for the State and they have sacrificed many members in the history of the State. They had no alternative but to assemble outside Leinster House today to plead...
- Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jun 2016)
Terry Leyden: An arbitrator was appointed, namely, Mr. Ray McGee, formerly of the Workplace Relations Commission, but he resigned without coming to any conclusions. The GRA engaged with Mr. McGee but he left his position and nobody has replaced him or entered into negotiations with the Garda Síochána. The Minister made it clear yesterday that the Lansdowne Road agreement is essential and that...

Terry Leyden: Senators Feighan and Gallagher raised the issue of Brexit. When the British Government triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, the House should have a rolling debate about Brexit because it is the most significant event in the history of the State. We will face nothing as serious as this. The British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly completed its most recent plenary earlier. The House was...

- Seanad: Communications, Climate Action and the Environment: Statements (6 Jul 2016)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, back. It is 19 years since he was a Member of this House. I was a Member of the other House and then I came here, so it was the other way around. The Minister has an enormous portfolio; it is mind-boggling. I must mark him in the Seanad but I did not realise I would also be dealing with refuse collection. I understand the Minister is being...

Terry Leyden: There was a move to sell Coillte to the private sector but, in fairness to the former Minister, Pat Rabbitte, he was able to ensure that access to woods, walkways and tourism projects was retained in public ownership. To my knowledge, he prevented the sale of Coillte. That is very important. State and semi-State companies provide a very good service to the State. The Minister has a very...

Terry Leyden: I have a quick point to make on turbines. If we look at turbines in Germany or elsewhere, we see that they are located away from houses on the national primary routes. Even on the road from Athlone to Dublin, there are areas which have very little housing on them. I ask the Minister to look at that area. I know he has to have power. The other point is about post offices. Can the...
