- Seanad: Seanad Bill 2013: Second Stage (15 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan. As there is a changing of the guard, I also welcome the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan. I compliment Senators Katherine Zappone and Feargal Quinn on the Seanad Bill 2013 which arises from the consultation paper, Open it, Don't Close It: Radical Seanad Reform Through Legislative Change....
- Seanad: Wind Energy Guidelines: Statements (15 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: Everybody accepts that alternative and renewable energy projects are vital for this country's future. The Bill brought forward by Senator John Kelly in this regard has great merit and deserves serious consideration by the Government. The major issue, however, is location. In Germany, for example, turbines are located on national primary routes, at considerable distance from residential...
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: I support the views expressed by Senators Thomas Byrne and Marc MacSharry on the issues associated with the new report, The Establishment of Hospital Groups as a transition to Independent Hospital Trusts. Roscommon is mentioned twice. On page 27 it is stated there is a plan to locate a rehabilitation centre at Roscommon County Hospital as part of the national clinical programme for...

Terry Leyden: I have many questions for the Minister. We know he broke the promise. He wrote to the people of Roscommon-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: I wish he were here more often. It is said there can be no further downgrading. Our Lady's Hospital in Navan will lose its accident and emergency unit. Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, St. Columcille's Hospital in Loughlinstown, the hospitals in Mallow, Bantry, Nenagh and Ennis, St. John's Hospital in Limerick and Roscommon County Hospital have all been affected. The loss of accident and...
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: We can see the reality in Roscommon. A Member of the Oireachtas had to resign from Fine Gael because he felt it was not nonsense. The point is that HIQA will be used as a front line to downgrade other hospitals. The report is of no consequence to the people of Roscommon. It is but a further death knell. Professor Higgins certainly has not done smaller hospital any favour. The Government...
- Seanad: Order of Business (15 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: The Senator should not be crowing so much about Waterford because Waterford hospital has lost its status on foot of the linking with Wexford and Kilkenny. I would not be that proud of the achievement in Waterford.
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: I wish to be associated with the tributes to the late Donal Walsh. He was an inspirational young man and the point made by Senator MacSharry is very important, in that the very good policy document he prepared should be debated in this House. Moreover, there is plenty of time available in this House and it would be recognition of what Donal Walsh has done. He has been most inspirational...
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Terry Leyden: -----he has not responded in a positive way. He is good on PR and was good for photo opportunities down in Cork when some fodder came in but he was not in Athleague yesterday to meet the farmers who were waiting for fodder there. I agree with Senator Comiskey that this matter is not finished. The Minister should continue to provide the subsidy for the transportation of fodder into the...
