Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. The last time he was here it was in happier circumstances when we were planning the campaign and debating the issues involved.

Seanad: Broadcasting Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2008)

Terry Leyden: The Senator is quite correct but he was going into what was basically a Second Stage debate. The question of road signs in Irish has nothing to do with this debate. There are many amendments to be discussed relating to this legislation and it is very important everybody has an opportunity in getting this Bill through. It is only a suggestion on my part and the Senator may speak for as long...

Seanad: Lisbon Reform Treaty Report: Statements (5 Jun 2008)

Terry Leyden: I understand from today's welcome announcement that the "Maybe" side has joined the "Yes" side. The Minister of State, Deputy Dick Roche, canvassed in County Roscommon.

He has made a very big impression and did so when he canvassed with me in County Roscommon...
