Seanad: Order of Business. (15 Jun 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I join Senator Maurice Hayes and Senator Ulick Burke in calling for the intervention of the Minister regarding the recent publication by the NRA of its proposals regarding rest areas on motorways. I have pursued this issue for quite some time with the NRA and have had a number of written contacts with it. It is wholly inappropriate to expect motorists and truck drivers to leave motorways to...

Timmy Dooley: I join my colleagues in welcoming the Minister of State to the House, particularly his officials who provided an excellent briefing document on this emergency legislation.

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for State, and his officials in particular, for the speed with which they managed to bring about this legislation. It is very welcome to see the Department of Transport being able to enact or draft legislation so quickly. We often complain about other Departments and the length of time it takes to bring legislation to this House. It is probably due to a considerable...

Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Jun 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I join with Senator Paddy Burke in calling for urgent action by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to deal with the crisis in sewerage systems throughout the country.

In many villages and towns this presents a real problem...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (29 Jun 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I too welcome the Minister of State to the House and the opportunity to comment on this Bill. I am conscious that, notwithstanding this debate, an independent body has decided on the make-up of the Dáil constituencies for the near future. The forthcoming census may have implications for this. Will the Minister of State in his closing remarks indicate whether the census will affect...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (29 Jun 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I know that but as a citizen of west Limerick he might have a view on this proposal. If Limerick city is to grow it should move towards County Limerick, not County Clare. This would eventually impact on the Dáil constituencies because if Clare had succeeded in maintaining the portion of its population that was within its territory at previous boundary reviews it would now have five Deputies....

Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Sep 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I ask the Leader to try to arrange a debate as quickly as possible with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, on the recycling of farm plastics, which is a major issue, particularly in the west. A recycling system initially received support from the Government and the plastics industry but the group involved in the collection of levies appears to have...

Seanad: Order of Business. (5 Oct 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I ask the Leader to arrange a debate as soon as possible with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to discuss water and sewerage schemes with specific emphasis on the serviced land initiative. As many Senators are aware progress in advancing certain schemes has been very slow, which is causing severe disadvantage to some villages and towns resulting in their being...

Seanad: The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act: Motion. (11 Oct 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I will assist the Chair in that I may not use the full time available to me. If there is time remaining I would be happy to give it to any of my colleagues. I welcome this debate and I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Treacy, to the House. Like me, he comes from the west and knows theimplications of this debate and of the ultimate passage of this Bill on many families throughout the...

It is refreshing to know that, when he held the meeting, he was in a...
