Seanad: Order of Business. (24 Jun 2004)

Terry Leyden: I support Senator Finucane's point regarding the forthcoming discussions between the Taoiseach, as President of the European Council, and the American President. We must consider the undocumented Irish citizens in the United States to whom we have a responsibility. There could be 10,000 such people in the United States of America and we must be conscious of them. Those who will march against...

Seanad: Genetically Modified Foods: Motion. (23 Jun 2004)

Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister of State and his officials to the House. I thank Senators Quinn, Henry, O'Toole, Ross and Norris for tabling this motion. At our party meeting I was anxious that no amendment would be proposed to the motion and I am pleased the Minister of State is in agreement. This matter affects everybody and is not a political issue in the sense of party politics, but it could have...

Seanad: Order of Business. (23 Jun 2004)

Terry Leyden: I support the discussions due to take place this weekend between the Taoiseach and the President of the United States, Mr. George W. Bush. I remind the House of the request I raised last January, which was conveyed by the Leader and her office to the Taoiseach. This issue relates to the many young undocumented Irish people resident in the United States who are unable to return home for...

Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Jun 2004)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader arrange a debate next week, if possible, to discuss the effects of the smoking ban on the 6,000 pubs outside Dublin, as mentioned by the vintners' association? According to today's Irish Examiner, pubs sold 7 million fewer pints last month. It would be worthwhile having a debate on how effective or damaging the smoking ban has been on the industry. I know the arguments in...

Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Jun 2004)

Terry Leyden: Any measure is worth reviewing. If it is worthwhile keeping the ban in place, that is fine but let us prove it. A compromise of a smoking lounge could have been adopted. It would have been a boost to the building trade as every premises would have had to have been converted. Employees would not have to go into that room but the people who enjoy a cigarette could do so. In a civilised country,...

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Jun 2004)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader consider a debate on the spiralling cost of fuel, petrol and diesel? As a result of the difficulties in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, the cost of petrol has risen to €1.05 per litre and diesel to more than 90 cent. Each rise in fuel costs, affects the cost of goods being supplied. The road haulage firms appeared before the Joint Committee on Enterprise and Small Business on...
