Terry Leyden: I join in the tributes and sympathies to the late, great Brendan Grace, who was one of the greatest comedians Ireland has ever produced. I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife, Eileen, and his four children on the loss of this marvellous man. I saw his concerts and was there in 1989 when he met Frank Sinatra in the Horse Show House in Ballsbridge. It was a most memorable occasion to...

Terry Leyden: I am pretty good at predicting that, but I could be surprised. I do not feel that Ireland has been well served by the negotiators from the European Union. I believe that we have been served appallingly in this whole effort. The backstop will not be relevant if there is no agreement, so let us bear that in mind.There are possible alternatives but have they been pursued? Have they pursued...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Finnish Presidency of the Council of the European Union: Engagement with Ambassador of Finland (10 Jul 2019)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the ambassador and her deputy and other representatives of embassies in Dublin. I hope the six-month Presidency of Finland will be a success. Finland is very experienced in this regard. I look forward to representing the committee's Chairman and members at a COSAC meeting on 21 and 22 July in Helsinki. I hope it will be a happy event but it sounds very serious so far. Ordinary...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Alliance-Building in the European Union: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)
Terry Leyden: The Venice Commission actually advised the Council of Europe and member applicant states. I know that barristers and former judges are involved. Would the Law Society of Ireland, through the work in Europe, have any interaction with the Venice Commission?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Alliance-Building in the European Union: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)
Terry Leyden: The Venice Commission is more into constitutional law, but we are represented by the former DPP. I think that the expertise of CCBE has an importance too, and could liaise with it.

Terry Leyden: Allow me to finish. Mr. Verhofstadt alleged he met a delegation of UK MPs in September 2017. In fact, it was a meeting of a British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly committee led by its chairman, Andrew Rosindell, MP, which I attended, and it was recorded and broadcast last night on RTÉ 1.
