Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: It is all around the Deputy.

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: To understand the reason confidence in this Government has fallen so dramatically since it received one of the biggest mandates in the history of the State, we need only contrast the commitments made prior to March 2011 by both the Fine Gael Party and Labour Party with the actions of those parties in Government in the period since then. The so-called democratic revolution has given way to...

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: The unprecedented actions taken by the former Minister for Finance, the late Brian Lenihan, cannot be divorced from the current robust recovery. All Deputies will agree that his actions and plan have contributed to the positive news we see today. Brian Lenihan showed great bravery and courage in his role and this should not be forgotten when discussing the level of economic resolution and...

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: The people have taken and given a lot and would work with the Government. It is this continued spinning of half-truths and half-answers that is causing problems for people. We have had it over the past two days. The Minister of State can put his head in his hands and feign some kind of mock indignation about my ability to recognise what the people expected.

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: We have seen the spectacle over the past two days where the fallout from the IBRC, Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, liquidation has led to the potential where junior bondholders ultimately might be paid back. The Government’s spokespeople have hedged, ducked and dived on this rather than coming out stating the facts.

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste did such a fantastic job at the weekend, stating she would solve the problems and that there was no way on her watch would any of these junior bondholders be paid back. The facts belie what she said. Some of the more honourable Government spokespeople have said the junior bondholders will be paid back if the resources are there. If the one billion of euro that can only be...

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: While I have already welcomed our improved economic growth, I equally condemn the fact it is a two-tier one. Rural Ireland feels left behind, a fact which the Government continues to fail to address. We have also witnessed a total failure to reform the political institutions of our State. If anything we have seen the people's trust in our political institutions fall even further under...

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: Some Ministers and backbenchers fail to accept that they promised something different but they have gone back to age old politics of the past. They are still coming in here believing they can hoodwink the people. I do not believe that will work in this instance.

Topical Issue Debate: National Car Test (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: At the outset, I am disappointed by the way Topical Issues has been put to the end of the day's business. The introduction of the Topical Issue Debate was about improving this House's communication with the public. Topical Issues was about identifying issues of real concern to people that would be tabled at a time of the day that would allow it fit in to the regular news cycle, and be used...

Topical Issue Debate: National Car Test (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: I appreciate the Minister's approach to dealing with the matter on a regional basis and I welcome his announcement of additional testing staff. I recognise that the Minister is not in a position to encourage the Garda to exercise discretion, but I hope that until such time as the backlog has been addressed, the penalty by way of fixed notice will not be enforced. I hope common sense will...
