- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Union Enlargement: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)
Terry Leyden: I welcome Ambassador Qirko and the counsellor from Albania, and their colleague from Montenegro. I will not delay long because I have outlined the situation in Montenegro.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Union Enlargement: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)
Terry Leyden: I compliment Albania on its work relating to Kosovo. I recall 1998 and 1999, when the country had many refugees. We sent support to Albania to assist with Kosovans.

There has been a major change but the Seanad remains very active. I compliment the Commissioner on a very wide-ranging speech...

- Seanad: Defence Forces: Statements (1 May 2018)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State and his officials to the House. His speech was very comprehensive and will be read by the representative bodies. Like three other Senators, I have been nominated to the House since 2002 by PDFORRA and RACO, which are part of the Irish Conference of Professional and Service Associations, ICPSA, the organisation that nominates seven Senators. It is a matter...

Terry Leyden: For someone who does not want to make a political football of the issue, Senator Conway is certainly doing that this morning. He is bringing back a past situation.
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2018)
Terry Leyden: I commend Senator Ardagh on the excellent contribution she made here this morning. This is a critical situation for everyone involved. Let us be clear about that. I also want to say that, when he was the Opposition spokesman for health in 2008, our colleague here, Senator Reilly, raised concerns about the outsourcing of the test to the United States of America. The strange thing about it...
