Terry Leyden: That is a lot of cattle.

Seanad: Fodder Crisis: Statements (9 May 2013)

Terry Leyden: The Minister is welcome to the House but he has come in three weeks too late, the horse has bolted. As the saying goes, "Live horse and get grass". This was raised three weeks ago by Senator O'Donovan and we called for the Minister's attendance but he was not available. The Minister said he knew there would be a crisis but if that is the case, he was not very well prepared. A Fianna...

Seanad: Fodder Crisis: Statements (9 May 2013)

Seanad: Fodder Crisis: Statements (9 May 2013)

Terry Leyden: Well done, I thank the Minister for confirming it. The animal health and welfare telephone line has been set up and it is a great idea but why did only 500 people apply? They were reluctant to apply because the ISPCA will be involved in monitoring the farms from hereon to find out if there was neglect or an inability to deal with herds. That is a point that has been brought to my...

Seanad: Fodder Crisis: Statements (9 May 2013)

Terry Leyden: In knackers' yards, 800 cattle went through in seven days. They are taking on extra men. How many cattle have died during this crisis? The Minister knows the record, he has the CMMS, he knows exactly how many cattle there are in the State. There is a case for compensation here for those who had suffered extreme losses in this crisis. I have a lot more to say because I live on an organic...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The United Kingdom and the European Union: Discussion (9 May 2013)

We in Ireland are proud of the work Ms Geoghegan-Quinn is doing as Commissioner. She is extraordinarily well-equipped. In being appointed Commissioner from Ireland, she was the right person at the right time in the right era. Of course, she has a role for all...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn (8 May 2013)

Terry Leyden: Exactly. Well put by Senator O'Sullivan. The Leader of the House has been innovative in bringing distinguished visitors here, and none more distinguished than Ms Geoghegan-Quinn. She was the first woman Cabinet Minister in the history of the State. It is difficult to believe that a woman as young as herself was the first. In that sense, it was a new mould. We have come from Arbour Hill...

Seanad: EU Scrutiny Work Programme 2013: Motion (7 May 2013)

Terry Leyden: I commend the Leader for allowing a short debate on this motion, which we support. There was no question of us not supporting this good motion that Seanad Éireann adopts the EU scrutiny work programme 2013, joint committees' priorities, which was laid before Seanad Éireann on 2 May 2013 by the Joint Committee on European Union Affairs, of which I am a member. I commend the work on...
