- Seanad: Industrial Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages. (2 Mar 2004)
Terry Leyden: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House. I say, for the benefit of our guests in the Visitors Gallery, that not all legislation is passed as easily as this. This is an excellent Bill. I thank the Minister of State and his staff for introducing this well crafted legislation to the House. It has been well received by all sides and will be enacted as quickly as possible. I...

Terry Leyden: In my term as Minister of State I had to give regular reassurances that the Roscommon Garda station would not be downgraded and would be retained as a regional Garda headquarters. I am delighted that the former Minister, Padraig Flynn, provided enormous resources during his term of office for the development to a very high standard of the Garda station in Roscommon.
- Seanad: Garda Síochána Bill 2004: Second Stage. (2 Mar 2004)
Terry Leyden: It is relevant because if the Minister gave too many powers away to the Commissioner, we might find more rationalisation, including in east Limerick, which might affect us all directly.

With the accession of the new member states, there should be a more comprehensive police force in the European Union not taking responsibility from the...
