Terry Leyden: Will the Leader provide time as soon as possible to discuss the Lisbon treaty? At 12 p.m. today, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs will launch an interim report on the treaty. I am very concerned about yesterday's protest by the IFA at the European Commission offices in regard to the negotiations at the world trade talks in Geneva and the fact Peter Mandelson seems to be a...

Terry Leyden: I call on those involved in the air traffic controllers strike to call it off immediately. I agree with Senator Norris on this.

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Feb 2008)

Terry Leyden: I ask the Leader if he will initiate soon a debate on the Lisbon reform treaty. We must begin to progress this issue. It is the most important issue facing the people this year. The future of 500 million people depends on us voting "yes" in the referendum in May or June. The European Union should be very conscious of the fact that the delay in the payment of the REPS will damage the "yes"...
