- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Proposed Acquisition of Celtic Media by Independent News & Media plc: Discussion (7 Feb 2017)
Terry Leyden: I thank the witnesses for coming here and I welcome their voluntary participation. They have given a tremendous submission. The written submissions which I have read are excellent. The debate is fascinating. It was unnecessary for the Minister to refer the matter to the committee and if I were in his position I probably would not have done so. I made decisions when I was in the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Proposed Acquisition of Celtic Media by Independent News & Media plc: Discussion (7 Feb 2017)
Terry Leyden: I am sure Mr. Dooley will be delighted with the clarification. I was very impressed with the evidence given by Mr. Carey and Mr. Mulrennan. They have the interests of staff at heart.

One is paying...

I am under no obligation to anybody -...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Proposed Acquisition of Celtic Media by Independent News & Media plc: Discussion (7 Feb 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Proposed Acquisition of Celtic Media by Independent News & Media plc: Discussion (7 Feb 2017)
Terry Leyden: Unfortunately, Independent News and Media is the only company interested in buying these newspapers. I do not see anyone queueing up to buy them. The Senator's point is well made. I call Mr. Dooley after which two other Deputies wish to come in briefly. I ask Mr. Dooley to keep it brief.
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2017)
Terry Leyden: Will the Leader invite the Minister of State with responsibility for Gaeltacht affairs and natural resources, Deputy Kyne, to the House to talk about inland fisheries? I was interested in what Senator Mac Lochlainn said about the difficulty relating to Lough Foyle. There is a form of apartheid regarding fisheries in Ireland. I met the Minister of State and the chief executive and chairman...
