- Seanad: Order of Business (25 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: I can confirm that.
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: I refer to the 2018 report of the European Parliament Constituency Committee. As the Leader is aware, there is a proposal to increase the number of seats for Ireland from 11 to 13. However, if one looks at the map, the obvious place to increase the number of Members, with respect to the Clerk, would be the Midlands-North-West constituency. It has four seats currently but the Members...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: The Midlands-North West constituency, comprising the area from Louth to Donegal, which adjoins the Border with Monaghan, Cavan and into Leitrim. It would be appropriate that the members elected from that constituency would represent the best interests of the people of Northern Ireland also of all denominations and none. The committee, with respect, should have taken that into account but it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: General Affairs Council: Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (26 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State and her team, as well as the people in the Gallery. With regard to the informal meeting in Salzburg, it is disappointing in a sense that there was a certain isolation imposed on British Prime Minister Theresa May. It is important that we keep close contact with the United Kingdom during these negotiations. I accept we are one of the 27 countries but there...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Horkan in respect of the transfer of the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Commission to the council and the consequences of that decision. Yesterday, the IFA had a briefing for Members of the Oireachtas at which it put forward a very strong case for support in the forthcoming budget. I ask the Leader to bring the Minister for...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: I thank the Leader very much.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2018)
Terry Leyden: As the seconder of the amendment, I support its withdrawal. I take this opportunity to welcome the members of a delegation from Strokestown, who are guests of Deputy Eugene Murphy, namely, Brother John and Mrs. Murphy. I hope they have a very nice day in Leinster House.
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: I commend the Cathaoirleach and the Leader of the House for organising the minute's silence in memory of those who lost their lives 100 years ago today. It was a terrible tragedy just one month before the end of the First World War, a terrible and tragic war. I take the opportunity to welcome to the House Mr. Joe Callanan, who was a Deputy from 2002 to 2007. He is from Kilconnell in east...
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: On the Order of Business, I commend the Leader on a very active day today in the House. There is a very commendable amount of work to be done in the House today. Arising from yesterday's budget, I commend Deputies Michael McGrath and Cowen, and indeed the Minister, on negotiating the budget. They put considerable work into it. I commend the leader of Fianna Fáil, Deputy Micheál...

Terry Leyden: They are excellent houses and they are still there.
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: I was involved in physically bringing the blocks up to the first floor to put them up.
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: My brother Jimmy and another few were the builders. The point I am making is that there is not that approach now to building houses. We are now entering into an agreement for the possibly next year, at least.
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: I want to make a very important and significant point. There should be a national housing bond of approximately €3 billion. People have money saved in banks at 0.2% interest. If one got a 20 year loan from people like that at even 2%, one would raise an enormous amount of money that could be spent on housing and solve this problem once and for all. I do not have any approval from...
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)

- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: We have a future real housing Minister here with Senator Murnane O'Connor.
- Seanad: Order of Business (10 Oct 2018)

- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: I will certainly comply with that. First, the Leas-Chathaoirleach nearly caused a shock here. We were actually out the door when he announced the Government had collapsed.
- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: We were a bit concerned because one never knows what is going to happen from day to day. Roscommon-Galway regrets the departure of the former Minister, Deputy Naughten, as the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment. It was a great boost in the constituency to have the Minister there. Deputy Naughten is very available, very diligent and very hardworking as a Deputy, and...
- Seanad: Order of Business (16 Oct 2018)
Terry Leyden: That is the best statement Senator Marie-Louise O’Donnell ever made in the House.
