- Seanad: Order of Business (29 Mar 2018)
Terry Leyden: Most council meetings are now broadcast live on the Internet. As such, there is a very high standard among councillors, and it is very competitive. Just like Senators, councillors always communicating via emails or mobile telephone. Life has changed. In order to be fair and not to have this as a permanent issue, let us do something sensible. Let us not be afraid of the electoral...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Impact of Transparency on Negotiations in the Institutions of the European Union: Dr. James Cross (28 Mar 2018)
Terry Leyden: I welcome Dr. Cross to the meeting and thank him for coming. He has put a lot of work into this matter. I can only offer my own practical experience. It has been some time since I was in the Council of Ministers but I had responsibility, delegated by the Government, for the Single European Act, SEA. At that time, I was not fond of too much transparency and scrutiny. The British...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): IBEC (28 Mar 2018)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the witnesses. IBEC is a very dynamic organisation, and many former members and employees are playing a very important role in European affairs at the moment. It is a great training ground for people. This document, Ireland in the EU: A Dynamic Future - The Priorities of Irish Business for the Future of Europe, is very well presented. It is very easy to read and is a great...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): IBEC (28 Mar 2018)
Terry Leyden: The Irish Commissioner, Mr. Phil Hogan, who holds the agriculture portfolio has had discussions on this issue to ensure a whiskey trade war will not happen. Pernod Ricard, the French company, owns the Jameson brand and Irish Distillers. In that context, it is very important that the IBEC equivalent in France come on board through its network. I launched the Jameson brand in Japan on behalf...

Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister and his officials back to the House. It will certainly be a baptism of fire for the Minister over the next few months. I understand the referendum is planned to be held on 25 May. In 1983 the then very courageous Labour Party Minister for Health decided not to take the Bill and transferred it to a Fine Gael Party Minister. Senator Wilson cited facts from what...

Terry Leyden: That will be of some help, if the Government can agree to it. When the earlier Bill was passed, the Department of Health did not make much effort to bring in detailed protocols and procedures to assist the medical profession in the implementation of Article 40.3.3° because the then Minister did not agree with it. They should have been introduced in law to ensure proper interpretation...
