- Seanad: Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages (20 Jul 2011)

- Seanad: Order of Business (19 Jul 2011)
Terry Leyden: I second the proposal to amend the Order of Business to consider my motion on accident and emergency services at Roscommon County Hospital.

- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Jul 2011)
Terry Leyden: I ask the Leader to arrange for a debate before the recess on the Cloyne report. It is very important that we have a full, measured and reasoned debate based on facts. The report was commissioned during the Fianna Fáil Administration which shows that we were open to it. The victims are suffering with the release of the report but at least there is some closure, as they said this morning....
