Terry Leyden: -----the Constitutional Convention in Malahide, that beautiful part of the constituency of our leader in the Seanad.

Terry Leyden: I found the Taoiseach's comments in launching the Bill quite offensive when he said the Seanad did nothing to challenge the unsustainable policies of the Celtic tiger. Will the Leader of the House invite the Taoiseach to argue his case in this House, bearing in mind that in 2007 the published manifesto of Fine Gael and the Labour Party was to protect progress? What an endorsement. It is...
- Seanad: Early Child Care Education Standards: Statements (30 May 2013)

Terry Leyden: Today is a significant day for our colleagues in county councils throughout the country. At 5 p.m. an announcement will be made on the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government website regarding new constituencies.
