- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): Irish Congress of Trade Unions (18 Oct 2017)
Terry Leyden: I welcome Dr. Rigney. The future of Europe concept is slightly unreal at the moment because Europe is very much wrapped up with the Brexit talks which, currently, are not going well. The deadline is March 2019. That is the date when the British MEPs will physically leave Brussels according to the arrangement that has been entered into. That will be a major change because there are between...

We should continue the discussion with countries. If they comply with the requirements of the European Union, then let us move on. Does Mr. Rigney understand?

Terry Leyden: I welcome the ambassador to Ireland and congratulate him on his appointment. There are already very close ties between France and Ireland in a traditional and historic sense. We will continue that relationship. I also appreciate the sympathy expressed for Ireland because of Storm Ophelia, which caused devastation and three deaths. There was enormous damage and tragedy, and it is certainly...

- Seanad: Broadcasting Act 2009 (Designation of Major Events) Order 2017: Motion (19 Oct 2017)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister to the House and congratulate him on the motion. It is a great news story. I commend him on the way he proceeded with the consultation.

The list includes the All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football Final and All-Ireland Senior Camogie Final, which is a tremendous step forward. As the Minister said in his statement, there has been a massive increase in attendance at these events. It is phenomenal to think that as many as 46,286 people attended the senior and intermediate...

- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2017)
Terry Leyden: Will the Leader invite the Taoiseach to the House to outline the discussions he had with Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, in San Francisco? The situation relating to the proposed €850 million data centre for Athenry is very serious. The project has overcome many planning difficulties in the past two years. The last of these were cleared in the High Court last week. The project should...
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2017)
Terry Leyden: The construction jobs will be magnificent and afterwards there will be 50 to 100 jobs available, although we do not know the exact number. From a psychological point of view and from an international perspective, to locate this centre in Athenry, which is situated in the west of Ireland, would give hope and encouragement to those seeking employment in the region. Martin Shanahan, head of...
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2017)
