Terry Leyden: I congratulate the Minister of State on this important Bill. We are very well served with the quality of the public service in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. I had the same experience when I was there. Coupled with his responsibility over trade, the Minister of State has brought many Bills before these Houses since his appointment. This is a well-balanced Bill. It...

Terry Leyden: They were established in Bray, Dublin, Kildare, Galway and throughout a mix of areas. They have proved to be successful. The Minister should be commended on introducing this initiative and, hopefully, on rolling out such committees to every local authority area. Such a debate would give the Minister an opportunity to outline the progress made in regard to the pilot committees that have...

Terry Leyden: I take this opportunity to pay tribute to the sacrifices made at the weekend by Garda Brian Kelleher from Bruree and Michael Liston, a part-time fire fighter, from Foynes who died in the course of their duties.

Seanad: Control of Exports Bill 2007: Second Stage (22 Feb 2007)

Terry Leyden: I welcome the publication of this Bill and commend the Minister of State on his excellent speech which outlined the background to this Bill.

It is proposed to refurbish St. Catherine's Ward in the Sacred Heart Hospital in Roscommon, a public institution with 200 beds which is doing tremendous work. This refurbishment will bring about a much needed development. It is also proposed to provide an Alzheimer's unit in the hospital. It is an excellent facility and one I hope the Minister of State can...

Again, this is a step in the right direction where the proper diagnostic equipment is on site and available. Through the efforts of Deputy Finneran, a group from Roscommon met the Minister for Health and Children...

Seanad: Health Service Reform: Statements (21 Feb 2007)

Terry Leyden: The Minister is considering the proposal. This is a very worthwhile organisation which has established that approximately 6,000 lives per year could be saved if these defibrillators were provided in areas where they are accessible. I thank the Minister for organising the meeting and commend the organisation, particularly Eunice Langley, who is the secretary and founder and all the members...

Seanad: Electricity Regulation (Amendment) (Single Electricity Market) Bill 2006: Second Stage (21 Feb 2007)

Terry Leyden: I welcome legislation that will help improve the rights of the consumer. This Bill legislates for a single electricity market on the island of Ireland and anticipates that the consequence of this will be a greater sharing of resources, more competition and ultimately a drop in prices. The basis for this Bill has been in place since 2000 and this legislation will formalise it. The Leader of...

Seanad: Electricity Regulation (Amendment) (Single Electricity Market) Bill 2006: Second Stage (21 Feb 2007)

Terry Leyden: I welcome his response. It is difficult to keep up with all the various radio programmes on both local and national radio. I heard Mr. O'Connor's statement in which he compared the regime here to the one in Texas. He claimed it took some 72 months to be allowed to feed into the national grid using the method of electricity generation he operates. In regard to energy conservation, most...

From 2 April free travel will be available throughout the island of Ireland thanks to the work of...
