Seanad: Climate Action: Statements (5 Nov 2019)

Terry Leyden: ...their work on adaptation plans but how does such a ridiculous photo opportunity appear to the peat workers who stand the loss of the only jobs they have ever known, to the farmer whose potato crop has been destroyed by the extreme rainfall of recent weeks, or to those with respiratory problems made worse by air pollution? There are those in government who wonder why we have children...

Terry Leyden: ...is told there are and that they are being administered by bailiffs. They can drive less than 20 miles to the River Suck and fish there without any charge being imposed. That is wrong. It is affecting our area and destroying fishing tourism there. IFI can build all the fishing stands it likes, but very few people will use them as long as this situation continues. In Newport, juvenile...

Seanad: Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (28 Jun 2017)

Terry Leyden: ...tried and well practised. Nobody is closer to this than Councillor Bohan, because it started in her area and could have done damage to the River Shannon, tourism and the agricultural industry. It could have destroyed the clean air and clean water. Water is absolutely vital and there is no guarantee the water would not come down the River Shannon and pollute it, destroying fisheries and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Union Issues: Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (12 Apr 2017)

Terry Leyden: ...between the United Kingdom and Ireland. Why did Ireland not demand a veto? Surely the situation cannot be decided by a simple majority of the 27 countries. They cannot decide to damage our economy, destroy our jobs and destroy our exports to the United Kingdom. We must take whatever action is required before agreement is reached. We must let Europe know that Ireland will not stand...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Wind Energy Guidelines (30 Mar 2017)

Terry Leyden: ...last night. I was in the same vicinity as he was. He did not request me to postpone this motion. The Minister can run, but he cannot hide, from this issue. The wind turbines in my area will destroy our locality and it is up to the Minister to bring in guidelines. It is three years since this matter was at issue. I ask that these turbines would be at a distance equal to ten times the...

Seanad: Communications Regulation (Postal Services) (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Mar 2017)

Terry Leyden: ..., and the Minister knows what is going on in our area because he was at the meeting. This is an example of the removal of ministerial power from semi-State bodies. They can walk into our area and try to destroy it with wind turbines and they do not care a damn. They do not care about the Minister or me and they do not care about the public. They are only interested in getting maximum...

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: ...he must have been very sad to see Lord Kilclooney, the former John Taylor, and Alpha Newspapers take over the Roscommon Champion. Not only did he take it over, but he closed the newspaper and then he destroyed all the archives. He had no loyalty to the Roscommon Championor to the Republic of Ireland for that matter. By the way, Mr. Dooley mentioned the interesting times on the Roscommon...

Seanad: Waste Management: Motion (22 Jun 2016)

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Hospital Services (16 Jun 2016)

Terry Leyden: ...of the accident and emergency service at Roscommon's acute hospital has been sacrificed for seats at Cabinet and other positions. The people of Roscommon will never forgive or forget those who set out to destroy the future of Roscommon University Hospital. I have stood by that hospital through thick and thin. During my period in office, we held on to the accident and emergency...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 Dec 2015)

Terry Leyden: ...would change and go along with the general consensus in the House of Commons but he stood alone and he led the majority of his own party to vote against it. The bombing of parts of Syria to destroy ISIS, or Islamic State, will be futile because on the ground it is very strong.

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Jul 2015)

Terry Leyden: ...of sympathy extended to the bereaved families of the 38 people who were slaughtered in the massacre in Tunisia. They were defenceless holidaymakers.

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Dec 2014)

Terry Leyden: ...because of the decisions that we, as Members of the second House of the Oireachtas, must make. It is not surprising that the Taoiseach was so anxious to get rid of this House. He tried his utmost to destroy this House and if he had succeeded, the Water Services Bill would have been passed last night to provide for the imposition of water charges. This is the straw that is breaking the...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Nov 2014)

Terry Leyden: ...are enormous. The price of supplies is increasing but the price is coming down for cattle. It is becoming an impossible task and factories need to respond quickly or else the industry will be destroyed. It is a crisis and the IFA and everybody else were right to protest. I hope there will be a response at the forum tomorrow and that better prices will be offered from Friday. The...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (7 Oct 2014)

Terry Leyden: ...people in Border areas in this regard. I have never understood why there is not a greater detection of this fraudulent activity which is causing mayhem. Many people’s car engines have been destroyed by petrol-stretching, a process that sees kerosene blended into petrol. Last night there was a public meeting in Hannon’s Hotel in Roscommon town on the matter. Coming to...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Jan 2014)

Terry Leyden: ...in charge of sections 38 and 39 of the relevant legislation. He should know what is going on. If he does not know what is going on, then he should not be Minister. Mr. Flannery said that having destroyed their business, the Minister was now making accusations against them and that it was like breaking a man's leg and then attacking him for not walking. It is a matter of a house divided...
