Credit Union Sector: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this really important debate on the credit union movement. I have had an opportunity to listen to people on all sides of the House and am somewhat perplexed as to why the Government parties are dividing the House tonight. I understand they intend to call a vote against the motion we have tabled. This beggars belief given the contributions that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: UK Referendum on EU Membership: Discussion (25 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the delegates. The problem for the European Union is that, on one hand, it cannot be seen to give Britain too much. The UK must be given enough to encourage its people to vote to stay in the Union. On the other hand, however, if too much is ceded, there is a danger that other member states will try for the same. The delegates must attempt to marry those two considerations. I do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Credit Union Sector: Discussion (25 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I was at another committee, but I am familiar with what they require and very supportive of it. It seem to be a relatively straightforward requirement. The demands of credit union members are changing and the credit unions are responding.

Timmy Dooley: I welcome both delegations and thank them for their helpful presentations. I wish to put this debate into context. I was one of the people who initially proposed that the witnesses come before us. The statistics that were presented were really shocking to all of us and to society at large. I accept that the Courts Service has subsequently clarified the matter. Any time the Garda gets an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Conviction Rates for Drink Driving: Discussion (25 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: That is really helpful. The average citizen finds it virtually impossible to comprehend how, when the Garda has a sample that is clearly above the prescribed limit and an individual from whom the sample was taken, that individual could walk out of court, sit into his or her car and drive home. That is most difficult for those who have suffered at the hands or wheel of a drunk driver. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Work Programme 2016: European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development (26 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Commissioner for a comprehensive overview of the work programme, what has been done to date and where the Commission intends to go. I would like his views on a number of issues. Regarding migration and despite the volume of people involved, the Commission seems to suggest that 160,000 people will be dealt with through the relocation programme. That is small compared with the...
