Terry Leyden: I appreciate that but it is not every day that one can raise discrimination against one area in our own country and Republic.One can fish all one likes in counties Kerry and Limerick and along the River Shannon but not in my area.

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Jan 2017)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader invite the Taoiseach to come to the House to discuss Brexit? Today's edition of the Irish Independentcarries an article that talks about a Brexit "shambles". I cannot understand why a country as affected by what happens in the UK does not have a dedicated Brexit Minister and Department. I suggest that the Departments of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform be...

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2016)

Terry Leyden: I thank the Leader and our party Whip for putting on the Order Paper today No. 4, the Registration of Wills Bill 2016. It is in my name and it is co-sponsored by Senators Ardagh and Clifford-Lee. I ask every Member to support the Bill. This is my third attempt to introduce it.

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2016)

Terry Leyden: The plan is still the same. There are quite a number of new Members present. All parties backed the legislation initially and then there was a slight hiccup on the next occasion, for some reason. Now we have a new Seanad that is more likely to consider the matter afresh.

We now have new politics and I am delighted with the new approach which will bring about results. I...

Seanad: Registration of Wills Bill 2016: Second Stage (14 Dec 2016)

Terry Leyden: You go up with €100 and come down with €200. It works both ways. It is gender balanced in case anyone says there are people who go up with a bit of land and come down with more but that is another day's work. As Jack Lemmon once said, "death ends a life, not a relationship". Certainly when there is a will, there are definitely relations. When there is a will, there is...
