- Seanad: Order of Business (6 Feb 2018)
Terry Leyden: I concur with Senators Michelle Mulherin and David Norris on the statements emanating today that the bulk of rural railway lines face closure. To say the least, that is an horrific headline. The railway line is the lifeblood of tourism in towns such as Roscommon, Boyle, Carrick-on-Shannon, Westport, Ballina, Sligo, Longford and Mullingar. There is no doubt that they would love to cut out...

Terry Leyden: They would be delighted to have you there, a Cathaoirleach. We were promised this would connect 540,000 homes. What is happening? Nil.
