- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)
Terry Leyden: The Intoxicating Liquor (Amendment) Bill 2014 was introduced yesterday and signed by Senators Henry, Cummins and Burke. What inspired them to introduce it? I speak with a certain vested interest. The Bill is meant to amend the Licensing Acts 1833 to 2008.
- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jul 2014)

It is very important that the right candidate be selected on a fair and equitable basis and because he or she is qualified for the position, not because he or she is a card-carrying member of Fine Gael or the Labour Party. The Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Fitzgerald, can...
