Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2019)

Terry Leyden: ..., I appeal to all Members of this House to allow this Bill to pass through the House and on to the Dáil. I would be delighted if the Government would adopt the Bill. One can register one's dog, one's sheep and one's cattle, but there is no registration available for the most important and significant document people make, which is a will. In a sophisticated society, such as ours...

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

Terry Leyden: ...by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages that a will was made. That is the kernel of this issue. It is not rocket science. Since the foundation of the State, we have had a register and licences for dogs or a television. We register everything. Roughly 30,000 people die every year and only about 10,000 cases go to probate. If a will is found after probate takes place, and two...

Seanad: Seanad Public Consultation Committee Report on Farm Safety: Motion (15 Jul 2015)

Terry Leyden: ...I note a terrible tragedy in our area a few months ago where a cow attacked and killed a woman on a farm in Kilrooskey. What spooked the cow was a cat following the woman on the farm. More than a dog, it spooked the cow which went for the cat. All of these little things are matters people have to be conscious of. One has to be aware of the dangers in a dangerous business. Animals are...

Seanad: Parental Leave Bill 2013: Second Stage (10 Jul 2013)

Terry Leyden: ...Party and we got it through this House. It is a simple straightforward proposal to have a system in place for registering the last will and testament of people. There is no such system in Ireland. One can register one's dog but one cannot register a will. Instead of the Minister saying she would accept it, she said that the advice she got from her Department was that it was not...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jan 2012)

Terry Leyden: ...regard. While we now have in place registration in respect of septic tanks, the household charge in respect of private residences and land and a requirement to have licences for televisions and dogs, we do not have in place a registration system in respect of wills, which are important. Wills are being lost and mislaid and people are being deprived of their entitlements. Introduction of...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Dec 2010)

Terry Leyden: This is horrible weather in which to hold an election. I would not put a dog out in it.

Seanad: Registration of Wills Bill 2005: Second Stage. (9 Nov 2005)

Terry Leyden: ...and, as his party's spokesperson, I thank him for his support for the Bill. I appreciate this as we are taking an all-party approach to an issue that addresses an anomaly. One registers one's car, dog or television but, although they are important to each and every one of us, there are sometimes no records or registrations. There is a shortfall in the system. The Senator made a point about...
