Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Mar 2004)

Terry Leyden: I support the proposal relating to the atrocity in Madrid. I ask the Leader of the House to convey to the leader of the Upper House in Spain our deepest regrets. I have visited Madrid, which is a beautiful city. It is a scandal that the peace-loving Spanish people have been affected in this manner. I mentioned to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform my view that it would be wrong...

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Mar 2004)

Terry Leyden: This issue has been around for a very long time, and I do not believe it is that urgent. We are well aware of the situation that has arisen. Quite frankly——

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Mar 2004)

Terry Leyden: Regarding electronic voting, it would be disastrous to have another ballot on the machine on the day to cause further confusion.

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Mar 2004)

Terry Leyden: People will be asked to mark X in the referendum and to vote one, two, three and so on in the elections. It will be disastrous if this issue becomes a race issue and certain candidates latch on to the possibility and potential of raising fears in some areas to garner votes. I want to make clear — I have already conveyed my view to the Minister — that we will have enough on our plates on...

Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Mar 2004)

Terry Leyden: This issue should be put aside. It would also provide an opportunity to use the machines again this year. It would be very convenient to have a referendum in the autumn or next year. Furthermore, on a point of order — and you as Cathaoirleach would desire proper decorum here-——

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (1 Apr 2004)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader arrange for further ongoing debate on consumer prices? I commend the Director of Consumer Affairs, Carmel Foley, and her staff for highlighting the cost of drink during the recent rugby international at Lansdowne Road. I commend her on her name and shame campaign.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (1 Apr 2004)

Terry Leyden: Unfortunately, they are not relevant. They wish they were more relevant at the moment. They have been very good on their own rip-off campaign.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (1 Apr 2004)

Terry Leyden: It is fine for Carmel Foley to go on "Morning Ireland" to explain the good work of her organisation, but she is a toothless tiger as she can do nothing about the issue. What is the point in exposing this rip-off and naming and shaming people when she cannot impose a maximum price order on a pint? Prices ranged from €4.95 to €3.25.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (1 Apr 2004)

Terry Leyden: The question is whether we should introduce a maximum price order and what action should be taken in regard to soaring prices. The exploitation of customers which took place during the rugby international is quite evident. I ask the Leader to provide an opportunity for the Government to ensure the matter gets a further airing in this House. This House has provided more opportunities for...
