- Seanad: Order of Business (30 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: It seems RTE is doing the work of the Department, and did an excellent job. I agree with colleagues, however, that there are many excellent crèches throughout the country.

Terry Leyden: I would like to second Senator Diarmuid Wilson's amendment to the motion. I agree with the views of Senator Deirdre Clune on the contribution that Apple makes to the Irish economy, with more than 3,500 people employed in Cork.

- Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: Yes, I am. When a member of the American Senate would try to downgrade this country in irresponsible comments, as they did yesterday, ti is very important that this House, a democratically elected House whose Members can speak for this country, should refute them. The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, who currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European...

While it would not be our wish to have the United Kingdom...

Terry Leyden: It is only a small detail and these things happen. In any event, I agree with the Chairman regarding the questionable nature of the documentation on attendance. While I have no problem with including members' attendance, one should go into it further and state precisely who is attending.

I congratulate him on his...
