Timmy Dooley: It has been reported that management at Aer Lingus and a US carrier have entered into discussions on a disposal through a trade sale of the State's ownership of 25% of Aer Lingus. Is the Taoiseach aware of this and will he provide some details, if possible? When does the Taoiseach expect legislation to give effect to this event?

Order of Business (Resumed) (14 Mar 2012)

Banking Sector Regulation: Motion (Resumed) (14 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate which is of critical importance. I suppose an element of banter across the floor of the House is appropriate but there is a much more serious issue underlying this motion, which is the reason it has been put down. The reason Members on this side of the House get exercised about it is because of the impact of these conditions on so many...

Banking Sector Regulation: Motion (Resumed) (14 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: That is not appropriate or acceptable. The fact remains that the PTSB is State owned and it has a duty of care to its customers. It also has a duty of care to its shareholders, who are all the citizens of the State, the taxpayers, and it is not in the taxpayers' interest. The fact the taxpayer is now the shareholder is different from it being a bondholder or somebody who has it on their...

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: One of the most memorable promises that the Government broke within the first months of entering into office-----

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: -----was its pre-election stance on third level fees. We all remember the infamous photograph of the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Quinn, outside Trinity College alongside members of the Union of Students in Ireland, USI, in the days before the election when he signed the pledge.

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: The pledge was not worth the paper on which it was written. The Minister signed up to a commitment not to re-introduce third level fees and committed to reducing student fees. Neither occurred. To add insult to that injury, the Government will make it more difficult for people from the self-employed sector and rural families to get student grants to help them to attend college. In March...

Timmy Dooley: I will help Deputy Coonan read it afterwards.

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: It is interesting that the Minister stated that this matter first came to light during the tenure of the former Labour Minister for Education. Clearly, it has been Labour policy to target rural Ireland and the self-employed.

Leaders' Questions (15 Mar 2012)

Timmy Dooley: I am not suggesting that the Minister does not understand, but if he had a clear understanding of the assets associated with farmers or the self-employed, he would know that they are used to generate income and should not in any sense be factored in as representing income.
