Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: We have received €58 billion in Common Agricultural Policy, Structural and Cohesion Funds since 1973. The contribution has been huge. Ireland has held the European Union Presidency on numerous occasions and in this regard we proved one of the most successful of the 27 member states. We can be proud of this. What would we gain by throwing away all of this? What has the "No" campaign said...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader of the House consider putting Senator Twomey's proposal relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights on the Order Paper for Private Members' time next week? Next week could be a Lisbon reform treaty week in the House. Perhaps the Leader would agree that the issues we discussed yesterday could be debated on Thursday. Those opposed to the Lisbon reform treaty rely on posters...

Terry Leyden: I congratulate the Minister of State on his reappointment to Government, which was well deserved, and wish him well in his new portfolio. I also welcome the officials from the Department. I compliment the Minister, Deputy Ryan, on the Bill.

Seanad: Broadcasting Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: I presume RTE is monitoring this debate. I have difficulty in picking up its longwave broadcasts. I tried to listen into a broadcast from the Sacred Heart Church in Roscommon last Sunday, but I could not pick it up. If I could not do so, I do not know who could. Will those monitoring the debate investigate the issue of frequencies and how to tune into the stations in question? In section...

Seanad: Broadcasting Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: We are broadcast live on the worldwide web, but that channel can only be accessed by certain people. A dedicated broadcasting channel would be worthwhile. I compliment everyone concerned. RTE should be more adventurous, but I compliment TG4, a brilliant station that is doing good work. It was established by a Fianna Fáil-Labour Government, which was a progressive period. Deputy Michael...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 May 2008)

Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: I refer to the issues raised by Senator Norris. No. 14 on the Order Paper is Statements on the Lisbon Treaty, which can be resumed. Many issues have arisen and it would be useful in the context of the campaign to have them clarified in the House by Ministers. That would serve a good purpose and I ask the Leader to consider that. Many different stories have been put out by the "No"...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: RTE should be complimented as a public service broadcaster on its very courageous programme last night on bullying in schools. It shows that public service broadcasting is very effective. Those who contributed to the programme were very courageous. Looking at the programme I felt some very vulnerable young people were involved and they should be given every support by the HSE, services and...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 May 2008)

Terry Leyden: Yes, it would be worthwhile to debate this but as a matter of urgency I suggest to all school principals that this programme should be shown in every school in the country and a discussion had on what happened in that programme and the effect on young people. This would bring it to the attention of the principals and others involved. I call on the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy...
