Government Record: Motion. (4 Jul 2006)

Billy Timmins: It is a given that the electorate is tired of the Government. This has been the case for the last couple of years. Blinded by arrogance and a detachment from the people it purports to represent, the results of the 2004 elections and the messages they contained went unnoticed and unheeded. In recent months a string of opinion polls which reflect the mood of the electorate has finally hit home...

Government Record: Motion. (4 Jul 2006)

Billy Timmins: The Minister is on the radio and television more often than the top broadcasters put together. It is a wonder RTE does not give him a job, although it is probably overburdened with comedy and cannot take on any more.

Defence (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage. (4 Jul 2006)

Defence (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages. (4 Jul 2006)

Billy Timmins: Given that we will probably not get through more amendments and this has been rushed, and while each year a document is laid in the Library or an update on the overseas operations for the year is given to the committee by the Minister, would he give a commitment to come into the Dáil each year, rather than into the committee, to report on what is taking place because we are going through a...
