- Seanad: Order of Business (2 Apr 2014)
Terry Leyden: Yes. I want to pay a tribute to the former Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan. I will not go into detail about his decision to resign. That is being well orchestrated. I know him quite well, having met him at many events. He made an outstanding contribution to law and order in this State and that should not be diminished by the events of the past week or two. He fought the "General",...

- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister and his official. It is important that Senators are given an opportunity to raise this matter as it allows the Minister to take note of the many views on the issue being expressed in the House. Beef producers find themselves in a very difficult position. I live on an organic farm producing beef and lamb, which is run by my wife, Mary, and son, Conor. The difficulty...
- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: Other countries which ruled the waves now waive the rules. I presume the House can also waive a minor rule to allow me to hear the Minister's views on this matter. We should not rush into a trade dispute with Russia over developments in Crimea. Ireland is a small country and such matters are addressed by major players such as the United States. The position in Ukraine was inflamed by the...
- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I am sure the new calf is called Simon if it is a male. I hope this important news has been conveyed to the Chinese leader. I ask the Minister to make this matter a priority because beef will not be produced if it does not make a profit. Ultimately, that would be bad for Ireland and exports. The Minister should acknowledge that the Food Harvest 2020 strategy was devised during the Fianna...
- Seanad: Beef Industry: Motion (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I was not present when the Minister spoke as I was otherwise engaged. I thank him for doing so. Everyone is playing a role in this matter. I was dismayed to learn that the Irish embassy in the Islamic Republic of Iran has been closed down. This was a vital embassy, which I used to meet and greet the relevant Iranian ayatollahs and ministers. I ask the Minister to intervene to ensure the...
- Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (26 Mar 2014)
Terry Leyden: I wish to join in the wonderful tributes to Senator Jimmy Mulroy made by the Leader of the House and the party representatives. It is a well-deserved tribute to a wonderful public representative and a Member of this House. I extend my sympathies to Chris, his beloved wife of 41 years, to his son, Cormac, daughters Caoimhe and Christine, son-in-law, John Comiskey, grandchildren, Evan and...
