- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. Yet again, we are discussing an Opposition proposal that purports to somehow resolve our current economic recession and our fractured banking system. This proposal is unique in that it purports to resolve both but, yet again, it is a case of smoke and mirrors. The Labour Party sets out the problem. We all know we are going through one...
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Deputy Burton might disagree but, with respect, she spent weeks in this House bleating about the fact we were going to overpay for the assets that NAMA would ultimately acquire.
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: We did not overpay and Deputy Burton now accepts we did not, yet she claims this causes another problem.
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: We have invested further taxpayers' money in the banks but that is the right thing to do. One cannot just ignore the banks and the economic situation and create some kind of a magic institution that will resolve the problem. The recapitalisation works towards this and will make the banks fit for purpose. The Government has placed onerous lending requirements on the two main banks, with a...
- Leaders' Questions (5 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: To vote out the Labour Party.
- Leaders' Questions (5 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: The Deputy is back to wearing the blue tie already.
- Cancer Screening Programme (11 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to discuss a matter of significant importance to the lives of the women in my constituency in County Clare. I have put a considerable amount of effort and time into the issue over the years, including during my time in the Seanad. My Seanad colleagues and I sought to have the BreastCheck service rolled out along the western seaboard. For some time prior to that,...
- Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction (Fixed Penalty Notice) (Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. Although I come from a coastal county where fishing is not at a level associated with the constituency of the Minister of State or other constituencies around the coastline, it is still an important feature of economic life there. I wish to be associated with the positive remarks Deputy Byrne made on the appointment of Deputy Connick...
- Constitutional Amendment on Children: Motion (Resumed) (19 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this debate. There is little doubt that the issue is critical to each of us. Every Deputy is committed to ensuring the legislative framework is strengthened to improve the protection and welfare of children. Clearly, an amendment to the Constitution is a critical component of the process and I welcome and recognise the significant efforts of the...
- Constitutional Amendment on Children: Motion (Resumed) (19 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Deputies Kenny and Gilmore and others have discussed the matter on the Order of Business, but none of them took the opportunity to hold a referendum. Were it straightforward, an amendment would already have been made, but it has not. It took until 2007 to have a referendum Bill published and a protracted period was required for the committee to agree a resolution. It is not unfair to...
- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Did the Deputy have holidays booked for next week?
- Order of Business. (3 Jun 2010)
Timmy Dooley: The Deputy must have booked holidays.
- Departmental Offices (17 Jun 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this important issue. Rural Ireland requires the services of various Departments and, from a rural perspective, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food offices have been an absolute requirement for the dispersed farming and rural community. A Government decision was taken in line with budgetary and economic matters to control spending in...
- Tourism Industry: Motion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. Like my colleague, I thank the Labour Party for initiating the discussion. I would not agree with much of what is in its motion and clearly that is why I will be supporting the amendment. We have achieved a lot and, obviously, we have a great deal more to do-----
- Tourism Industry: Motion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2010)
Timmy Dooley: -----and I am sure we will continue in that regard. To me, tourism is a vital cog in the economy as I come from a county which benefits from the level of tourism activity, whether it be through the airport or through the many tourism facilities and products. The Deputies across the way, as two Clare persons, will be familiar with the facilities that we have in the county. There is a domestic...
- Patient Safety: Motion (Resumed) (30 Jun 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. At the outset I express my sincere sympathies to all those affected by the recent revelations; not just those about whom we have heard but those who continue to suffer in silence. There are some who will never find closure because there is no effective methodology to provide such people with the ultimate answer to the hanging question...
- Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (2 Jul 2010)
Timmy Dooley: What about the IGB?
- Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (8 Jul 2010)
Timmy Dooley: The Deputy should try Joe Duffy.
- Credit Institution (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) (Amendment) Scheme 2010: Motion (29 Sep 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to address this motion. There has been much comment about the guarantee scheme in the past year, much of it negative and much of it ill-informed. There has been little by way of alternative solutions to the problem that existed, and still exists, by way of coming forward with a solution to the banking problem. There has been considerable focus by some in the...
- Credit Institution (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) (Amendment) Scheme 2010: Motion (29 Sep 2010)
Timmy Dooley: What was the alternative?
