Terry Leyden: I second the amendment to the Order of Business proposed by Senator Ardagh. I ask the Leader to arrange for the Registration of Wills Bill 2016, which was introduced in the Seanad two years ago, to be debated during Fianna Fáil's Private Member's time on Wednesday, 6 March next. I remind the House that the Bill in question has taken some time to progress. There is a great deal of...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Feb 2019)
Terry Leyden: I hope that it becomes a reality on 6 March. The Bill was co-signed by Senators Ardagh and Clifford-Lee, both of whom are very prominent and qualified legal practitioners. It has been given tremendous support in the Seanad over the years from all parties and from independent Senators. I ask that the Bill be passed eventually, bearing in mind that so many wills are mislaid, lost and never...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions: Engagement with Mr. Juan Menéndez-Valdés (6 Feb 2019)
Terry Leyden: I welcome the director and his colleagues. I want to start with reference to the potential location of the European labour agency. I hope the Government is very much aware of that and the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Employment Affairs and Social Protection should be very active in this regard. It seems logical to join with Eurofound here in Ireland, whether in Loughlinstown...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Feb 2019)
Terry Leyden: I agree with the Senator's assessment. I worked with a firm of architects in Roscommon on the design-supervision of the building of schools and churches. We always knew the cost. Additional costs arise, but nothing like in this case. There are quantity surveyors, architects and engineers involved in this project. It is amazing how inept Ministers are in this Government. They are...
