Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Donohoe, back to the House and the senior officials from the Department of Justice and Equality. He played an important role here when he was a Senator. I am rather amazed by his warm endorsement of the Government's wish to abolish the Seanad and noticed that he has participated in numerous television programmes supporting the Government's view. I am...
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2013)
Terry Leyden: I welcome all colleagues back to the House. On a sad note, Members will be expressing their deepest sympathy to the family of Michael J. Noonan of Bruff, County Limerick, who was a former Minister, a former Deputy and a former councillor.

- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2013)
Terry Leyden: ----- he named individuals here who attacked this House one time. He is someone of outstanding ability and his stand has been greatly appreciated and will be regarded by many. I must record my personal disappointment regarding someone from my home town of Roscommon. He is an eminent man, a prominent and well-paid civil servant who has defended jobs well in Ireland for a long time and is...
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Sep 2013)
Terry Leyden: I have. Where are the standards in respect of civil servants who can involve themselves in a position that would deprive - not the 60 Senators who are all well capable of fending for themselves in some way - but the 60 staff members who will be affected?

- Seanad: SI 325 of 2012 - European Union (Quality and Safety of Human Organs Intended for Transplantation) Regulations 2012: Motion (20 Aug 2013)
Terry Leyden: I thank the Cathaoirleach for agreeing to recall the Seanad during the summer recess. It is not the first time the Oireachtas has been recalled. I was a Minister when we were recalled to debate emergency legislation on the Goodman organisation and saving jobs. There is precedent, therefore, for recalling Parliament during the summer recess. Senator Mark Daly has done the State a great...

Terry Leyden: Is she? Who appoints her? I have yet to come across an independent Attorney General, and I am here a while. If the Cathaoirleach goes through the list he will find the number of Attorneys General who were recommended by the Labour Party and appointed by the Government. Let us call a spade a spade.
