- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Government's Action Plan for Jobs was announced 18 months ago and has been re-announced quite a few times since. It was due to create 100,000 jobs by 2016. How credible is the commitment given in the Government's previous promises on job creation that, unfortunately, have not come to fruition? How credible can today's announcement be when the Government has not achieved its targets?...

- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The economy is bouncing along the bottom despite the Minister for Finance's claim that it was about to take off like a rocket. How does the Government intend to take people off of social protection and create 75,000 jobs?
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste's indignation is welcome. If I were to go back over the record of the Dáil when the Tánaiste was on the Opposition benches, I am sure it was the same script he repeated every week. The only difference now is that the Tánaiste has been on the Government benches for the past two and a half years. The record, unfortunately-----

Timmy Dooley: I need no history lesson from you, so keep to yourself for a minute and work out where you are going on your holidays.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I need no history lesson about what happened. The Tánaiste will be aware that there was an election in the meantime. The Government was elected on the basis of job creation commitments made by Labour and Fine Gael. The fact of the matter is, however, that the jobs are not there.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste has given interesting employment figures that seem to gloss over the facts. If one teases through them, one will find that many full-time jobs have become part-time ones. Labour activation has come into play with people being taken off the live register numbers and, in addition, people have emigrated. Therefore, what the Tánaiste believes to be an increase of 2,000...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste has announced the same thing three or four times. He has achieved nothing else in the meantime other than job announcements.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: There is a big difference between job announcements and those jobs coming to fruition. I know all about it. I come from a county that has often been subject to hundreds or thousands of job announcements over time, but they never came to fruition, so we will go back to the basic question.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I have two simple follow-up questions. How does the Tánaiste intend to demonstrate that work can actually pay?
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Taoiseach has said he will demonstrate that work can pay. Second, how will the Tánaiste engage differently with the unemployed to convince them to find a job in an environment where the Government has failed to create employment? One only has to look-----
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: Employers are unable to get the appropriate level of finance from the financial institutions to create jobs. They are only getting a trickle. One need only speak to the small and medium enterprises to appreciate that.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: We are witnessing history repeating itself with this Government's carry on.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: They are being left on social welfare by the Government.
- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: It is not agreed. This is a Bill that would make it easier to repossess the family home - effectively an eviction Bill - that plays into the hands of the banks. I suppose it is consistent with Government policy that leaves control in the hands of the bankers on the resolution of people's personal indebtedness

Timmy Dooley: Is Deputy McNamara on the right side today or on the wrong side? Does he know what buttons he is pressing?
- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Deputy is back in the pack anyway - he is back in tune with Deputy Stagg.
- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The bottom line is that we disagree with the way in which it is being rushed through the House and guillotined. We disagree in principle with the Bill.
- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Government took the banker's shilling.
