- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015: Statements (29 Nov 2017)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, to the House and thank him for a very comprehensive statement on climate action and low-carbon development. Fianna Fáil recognises that climate change is one of the most, if not the most, pressing moral and practical challenges of our generation. We need to look no further than the recent floods in Inishowen, the widespread drought in...

As a former Minister of State at the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, I have always fought very strongly for An Post to get the contract for collection. Unfortunately, however, the collection misses a lot of people....
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Nov 2017)
Terry Leyden: I request the Leader of the House to arrange for the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform to come to the House to discuss the reduction in the interest paid for prize bonds.

It reduced the number of chances to become a millionaire from six opportunities per...
