Terry Leyden: I withdraw that remark.
- Seanad: Order of Business. (5 Jul 2006)
Terry Leyden: I request the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to come to the House to discuss the axing of major programmes on RTE Radio 1. Senator Norris raised this matter recently. It is unfair to radio listeners who have paid their licence fee that programmes they enjoy will be axed by a producer in RTE who has come from a small rural station in Northern Ireland. She had wielded...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (5 Jul 2006)
Terry Leyden: That is a small station compared with RTE Radio 1. It is unfair that programmes such as "Rattlebag" and the "Mystery Train" are to be axed when listeners do not want them to be. It is only right and the proper that the listeners and the person who is the shareholder should be consulted on this reshuffle. It is like a Government reshuffle during the summer recess when people are axed unfairly...

- Seanad: Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (3 Jul 2006)
Terry Leyden: In the debate on Second Stage I referred to the return of firearms. The Minister was not in the House at the time. Could such a provision be included in this Bill or another? I related a situation whereââ

Terry Leyden: It is.
- Seanad: Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (3 Jul 2006)
Terry Leyden: It is. In the case to which I refer, the man was insane, a gun was returned to him and he shot his nephew. If that does not relate to the issue, I do not know what does.
- Seanad: Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (3 Jul 2006)
Terry Leyden: The Garda took the gun from the man and a Deputy made representations to the superintendent to have it returned; I did not. The man killed his nephew and was jailed. He should never have had the gun returned to him, as the representative process in that regard was not transparent. I do not know whether the details are available under freedom of information legislation. I always refuse to make...

Terry Leyden: I will not say.
- Seanad: Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (3 Jul 2006)
Terry Leyden: It was an internal dispute. There should be some way to appeal to a higher authority, such as the courts, to have a licence returned. When the Garda suspects someone of being a danger to himself or herself or family members, a gun should not be returned. The situation I outlined became a tragic one. I sympathise with the idea behind the amendment. The return of a gun should not be decided...
