Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): Irish Congress of Trade Unions (18 Oct 2017)

Terry Leyden: I welcome Dr. Rigney. The future of Europe concept is slightly unreal at the moment because Europe is very much wrapped up with the Brexit talks which, currently, are not going well. The deadline is March 2019. That is the date when the British MEPs will physically leave Brussels according to the arrangement that has been entered into. That will be a major change because there are between...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): Irish Congress of Trade Unions (18 Oct 2017)

Terry Leyden: The principle I am highlighting is that they should not be frozen in time. We should not say we are not going to expand now because Britain is leaving. That is the point I am making. We should continue the discussion with countries. If they comply with the requirements of the European Union, then let us move on. Does Mr. Rigney understand?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): His Excellency, Mr. Stéphane Crouzat, Ambassador of France to Ireland (18 Oct 2017)

There was enormous damage and tragedy, and it is certainly...

We always loved her company and look forward to seeing her again in the village of Castlecoote as the year goes on. I also wish her well in her ministry.

Seanad: Future of Europe: Statements (12 Oct 2017)

Terry Leyden: He may have been but his party seems to have relented on the subject now. The EU has been good to Ireland and Ireland has been good to Europe. The biggest effect has been on the fishing industry and the lobby at that time was not as strong as it should have been compared with other interests. That was then, however, and now we have to maximise quotas and catches under the Common Fisheries...
