Terry Leyden: No, but I request that the Minister come to the House. She is getting a baptism of fire at last and is finding out that it is difficult being in Government, particularly when she did not decide on the appointment. She was told to appoint Mr. McNulty to this board.

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: Has the Government any intention of bringing forward a Bill regarding the defamation of the dead? Some countries have such legislation. I raise it in particular regarding statements by Dr. TK Whitaker in an authorised biography by Anne Chambers published by Transworld Ireland, which has made a statement withdrawing certain allegations made about the late Charles Haughey, former Taoiseach,...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: I accept that, but it was not the case. Maureen Haughey has issued a very detailed statement from the Haughey family.

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: It is relevant because I asked if there was a Bill on the defamation of the dead, which some countries have, although historians do not like them. For somebody of the calibre, ability and standing of Dr. Whitaker, whose book will be launched next Tuesday night, I am disappointed that any writer, Anne Chambers, or any publisher, such as Transworld, would use misleading statements to undermine...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: I agree with Senator Paschal Mooney in welcoming the moving of writs for the by-elections in Roscommon-South Leitrim and Dublin South West. I wish candidates, particularly the Fianna Fáil candidates of Mr. Ivan Connaughton and Mr. John Lahart, every success. This is the opportunity for payback to the Government.

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: We were given promises in the last general election that were broken. Promises were given by the Taoiseach and the then Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, that the round-the-clock services at Roscommon's accident and emergency department would be retained but instead it was closed. The people of Roscommon had an opportunity to show an opinion in the local elections, with Fine Gael losing...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: The best anti-Government candidates are Mr. Connaughton and Mr. Lahart, who represent the Fianna Fáil Party. There will be a great opportunity for the people to have their say at this point. I hope the numbers will emerge.

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: We are getting a wonderful response on the doorsteps. The Fine Gael candidate in Roscommon-South Leitrim promised there would be no water charges for anybody who had to boil water for more than three months. That is a lie.

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: It is untrue.

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2014)

Terry Leyden: That statement has been taken down from the Fine Gael website. This will be a great opportunity and we all look forward to 10 October. It will be the start of the fightback and the beginning of the evolution in Fianna Fáil in finding its way back to government. Our ambition is to be in government in 2016. I have many relations in bonny Scotland. I wish the Scots every success,...
