Seanad: Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2005: Motion for Earlier Signature. (28 Jun 2005)

Terry Leyden: I thank the Minister of State for his conscientious approach to this complicated legislation. I thank his staff and senior officials and civil servants, some of whom I know from my previous experience in the Department of Industry and Commerce, for their input. It is an extremely technical Bill and fortunately the Minister of State is well qualified to bring it forward. He was also open to...

Seanad: Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2005 [Seanad Bill amended by Dáil]: Report and Final Stages. (28 Jun 2005)

Terry Leyden: I thank the Minister of State for bringing this Bill back to the Seanad. The fact he has examined and is including these amendments makes the Bill a thorough one. To his officials I say it is worthwhile to have the Bill as accurate as it can be. I know the Minister of State and his officials are anxious to make it 100% watertight. I commend him for returning the Bill to the House to do that.

Seanad: Morris Tribunal Reports: Motion. (15 Jun 2005)

I must express a vested interest in tonight's motion because I am nominated by the Garda Representative...

Seanad: Morris Tribunal Reports: Motion. (15 Jun 2005)

Terry Leyden: I withdraw my declaration. There are 12,000 gardaí and, percentage-wise, a small number have caused difficulties and been investigated by the Morris tribunal. We must also recognise those such as Dick Fallon, Garda Hand and Detective Garda Jeremiah McCabe who sacrificed their lives in the protection of the State. Let us put things in perspective because there is more to the matter than meets...

Seanad: Morris Tribunal Reports: Motion. (15 Jun 2005)

Terry Leyden: I ask the House to please bear in mind the great service that has been provided by the Garda Síochána to this State when discussing the situation in Donegal.

Donegal has had difficulties, but my second cousin was a...

Seanad: Disability Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2005)

Terry Leyden: Senator Terry's amendment is very reasonable. I know the Minister for State has been more than helpful in bringing forward amendments to this Bill in both Houses. He has been more than open to good suggestions. As Senator Quinn noted, quotas are a good example of setting targets. A quota of 3% seems to be very low in this day and age. If we had a quota of 3% for either men or women, it would...

It is a tragedy for the...
