- Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Commissioner Phil Hogan (26 Apr 2018)
Terry Leyden: I give a very warm welcome to Commissioner Phil Hogan and members of his cabinet, Mr. Tom Tynan and Mr. Dermot Ryan.

There has been a major change but the Seanad remains very active. I compliment the Commissioner on a very wide-ranging speech...

We would be very supportive, as we have said in respect of...

Terry Leyden: I compliment Albania on its work relating to Kosovo. I recall 1998 and 1999, when the country had many refugees. We sent support to Albania to assist with Kosovans. I visited a Kosovan refugee camp in Montenegro, which comprised mainly Roma people who were given educational assistance. Despite its size, it has done more for Roma refugees than any other country.

- Seanad: Order of Business (25 Apr 2018)
Terry Leyden: The Irish Timesis an honourable newspaper. It will look after the interests of regional newspapers well and allow them editorial independence and responsibility. That the Government did not make a decision on the proposed takeover by Independent News & Media, INM, of Celtic Media was a major error, in that it could have put those local newspapers in jeopardy. I call on the Minister...
