- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Last weekend the Taoiseach said that the Government and Irish Water would provide greater clarity on charges for the public after the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. On Monday, there was an apology from the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, and Mr. Tierney of Irish Water accepted that mistakes had been made. On Tuesday, the Minister, Deputy Alan...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Now we have the farcical situation in which the Economic Management Council is meeting in secret to discuss the situation while ignoring this House and the mandate given to Members on this side and to the Government backbenchers. Indeed, Deputies Griffin and Stagg have been reminding the Government about the difficulties in that regard. Does the Tánaiste consider it acceptable that...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: More importantly, will she pause this runaway train and allow a proper debate in this House to ensure that Members, who have a mandate and a contribution to make, can assist in resolving this mess once and for all?
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I never thought I would hear the Tánaiste say she would take something from the Charles Haughey school of politics to assist her in performing her duties. I am sure he must be turning in his grave at the thought of it.
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste indicated her confidence in the Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, and the gusto with which he has approached his job. That is interesting. It is a kick in the shin for the Taoiseach for his comments yesterday. It was more than a thinly veiled criticism of the European Commissioner, Mr. Phil Hogan, and one on which I ask the Tánaiste to ponder because the former Minister,...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Will the Tánaiste provide time to give an opportunity to backbench Deputies from both Government parties and on this side to have the debate on this legislation that was denied them in December when the Bill on water charges was rammed through the House and down the throats of Irish people. It is not too late to pause the charging structure for a number of months, allow a comprehensive...
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: -----can take cover in the approach taken by Charlie Haughey 30 years ago, she fails to realise where Irish people are and what they expect from us. This is certainly not the type of transparency the Labour Party suggested it would bring to citizens when it signed the programme for Government in 2011.
- Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Who is being asked to pay water charges? Is there some type of magic casino involved?
- Order of Business (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: In the light of the decision of Labour Party Senators yesterday to support a Fianna Fáil motion in the Seanad to have a referendum held to enshrine the protection of Irish Water in the Constitution, will the Tánaiste tell us whether she intends to bring a Bill before the House shortly to give effect to that decision, or was it the case that the Senators were acting in a personal...
- Order of Business (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It relates to promised legislation in the light of that decision. On the road traffic Bill, in the light of the upgrade works at Newlands Cross and the impact these works are expected to have on traffic activity on the M50, we face the prospect of congestion-----
- Order of Business (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I accept that, but does the Government have any view on the need to bring forward legislation providing for congestion charges, in line with proposals made by the NRA which suggested the introduction of multi-point tolling on the M50?
- Order of Business (6 Nov 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It falls under the heading of the road traffic Bill. What other promised legislation is on the way on pensions? As the Tánaiste knows, the deferred pensions of airline-----
