- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Digital Hub Development Agency: Chairman Designate (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: I thank Mr. Holden and congratulate him on his appointment. The Digital Hub was under enormous pressure during the recession. The concept is brilliant; the hub utilises an area of the city which was run down and which it has regenerated. The hub has nine acres and 19 buildings under its control. What kind of funding is it getting from the State per annum? Mr. Holden said that student...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Digital Hub Development Agency: Chairman Designate (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: That sounds very practical. Does it bear any relation to the development of further inward investment? I presume the hub receives support from IDA Ireland. I presume the agency is promoting the Digital Hub internationally. In light of Brexit and what is going to happen, I imagine the Digital Hub should be focusing on the British market and hoping to attract small companies that would...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Digital Hub Development Agency: Chairman Designate (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: The amount of money involved seems to be very low for something that has such potential. I presume the agency has access to capital funding for capital projects. Is there any special tax designation in terms of developing that area as being, in a sense, one of national significance? St. Patrick's Tower is in the agency's portfolio. I pass it quite regularly. It can be seen from the road....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Digital Hub Development Agency: Chairman Designate (4 Jul 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Digital Hub Development Agency: Chairman Designate (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: On the question about capital, I feel that the money involved is very low in relation to, say, the development of the International Financial Services Centre. I was on the Front Bench of Fianna Fáil when Mr. Haughey brought that to the Front Bench. No one knew much about it except himself, including any of the potential Ministers, but he drove it very fast. Should there be a bit more...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: I welcome Professor Pauric Travers, Mr. Michael O'Keeffe and Ms Stephanie Comey to the meeting. It is hard to get a big turnout in these meetings when something is happening. I thank the witnesses for the presentation and the survey. The Reuters Institute digital news report is very informative. I do not know if it has had much coverage in the media. I do not think it has. I will...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: I am not fond of that idea. I do not agree with any political party or politician controlling current affairs. They are the people with the deep pockets. If they are allowed to that, I oppose it. I do not agree at all with that. It gives them regular appearances. Community radio was mentioned. In most places, it is dying on its feet. There is no revenue coming in. Local schemes have...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion (4 Jul 2017)
Terry Leyden: I put a question already. What has happened to Irish TV? Is it being supported by the BAI? Local radio is my main currency and I am delighted the witnesses will be attending the forum on Friday.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion (4 Jul 2017)
