Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)

Terry Leyden: I would like to second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Paschal Mooney. The points raised by Senator Norris are very important and it is the first I have heard of a proposed wage cut. I will be alerting our representatives on the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission. The matter should be resolved because it seems strange that this should be proposed for people who...

Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State with responsibility for European affairs, Deputy Dara Murphy, to the House.

Moreover, those contributions...

Terry Leyden: The Minister might be worn down yet. I have never heard such a strong view being expressed by Senators in a most detailed way. The Minister is very reasonable and has knowledge. He said we must take his word for it and accept how he feels about it. However, as Senator Craughwell said, we do not know who will be here in ten years' time. A future Minister might say it is a wonderful...

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Feb 2015)

Terry Leyden: I welcome Mr. Durkan. I commend the Chairman on holding these hearings in advance of any possibility of Britain leaving the EU. It is better to be there before the horse bolts. There is no great economic benefit for Britain in leaving the EU. It is doing well and it would not be wise to leave. The general consensus is that no political party in Ireland would even contemplate leaving the...
