- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Terry Leyden: Acting Chairman, you will have to delete some of these comments which are very unsuitable. The greatest human right is the right to life of the unborn. I made those observations when I was a member of the Council of Europe and I voted against a proposal put forward for a similar proposal to be put into that Bill. I am voting against Report Stage and against the Bill.

- Seanad: Centenary of 1918 General Election and Irish Women’s Right to Vote: Motion (13 Dec 2018)
Terry Leyden: It is a great privilege to be in this House on the centenary of the 1918 election. It was rightly a seismic event. After seven years without a general election, the changes which had taken place in Irish society were laid bare in one important event which shook the foundations.

- Seanad: Order of Business (12 Dec 2018)
Terry Leyden: In regard to Senator Humphreys's point on the coverage of the Oireachtas on RTÉ, I note that last night the deliberations of the Seanad went out live on Oireachtas TV all night until the sitting was finished.

- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Dec 2018)
Terry Leyden: We are paying €160 per year for the licence fee and the public is entitled to have a summary of events in the Oireachtas during the day. Leaders' Questions are taken at 12 noon but a person who is working will not be able to watch them at that time and they are being deprived of the opportunity to see the debate until a night when the Oireachtas does not sit. RTÉ should restore...
