Timmy Dooley: He gave me the same thing.
- Order of Business (31 May 2011)
Timmy Dooley: During the course of the discussion of the jobs initiative in the House, the Government indicated that there would be a reallocation of funding within Departments. I have asked this question in the past: when will we have clarity on which programmes will not now go ahead as a result of the reallocation of â¬106 million of the â¬136 million in funding that was announced in the initiative?...

- Tourism Promotion (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: Question 25: To ask the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport if he will outline in further detail the proposal in the jobs initiative that the Dublin Airport Authority will rebate substantial levels of airport charges to airlines in return for additional passengers. [13861/11]
- Tourism Promotion (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The new incentive is based on passenger numbers for the previous year. However, there has already been a considerable increase in numbers in the year to date, in the region of 4% or 5% across the airports, in line with a growth in economic activity in areas outside this jurisdiction. In light of that, is it wise to use 2010 as the base level against which a rebate will be given to the...
- Tourism Promotion (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister's discussions with other airlines are welcome. We understandably tend to focus on our own airlines, but many tourists are attracted to this country through non-national airlines. Engagement with the latter should continue in order to encourage inbound tourism. What impact will the incentive scheme have on the fiscal position of the DAA? We hear regularly about the authority's...

Timmy Dooley: Question 28: To ask the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport the amount of the â¬75million provided for transport projects under the jobs initiative that was reallocated from existing funds within his budget; and the schemes or projects that will be affected by this reallocation of funds. [13862/11]
- Departmental Funding (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: Will the Minister provide more detail on the â¬40 million from the national roads projects? From what projects was the money saved? I am familiar with a number of national road projects which are shovel-ready, with some in my constituency. I do not want to be parochial but the council is having difficulty having safety works carried out. Recently there was an accident, which could have...
- Sports Capital Programme (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: A degree of confusion may have arisen in respect of this question. I understand it was originally put to the Taoiseach before being transferred to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I am happy to withdraw it on the basis that the Minister may not have received the information necessary to respond.
- Sports Capital Programme (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The question relates to an issue raised with the Taoiseach during the course of a debate in this House but his Office referred it to the Minister's Department.
- Sport and Recreational Development (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The problem is that the Minister of State has switched sides.
- Air Services (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister stated consultants were assisting him with that work. What is the nature of their work?
- Air Services (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: Although I understand the necessity to validate the airlines' numbers because fact and fiction often intersperse, is the airport authority not capable of carrying out the analysis? Is it necessary to hire external professionals to carry out that work?
- National Car Test (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister referred to a consortium composed of PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Automobile Association which carries out a consistency audit on equipment in the centres operated by Applus. A much greater level of information seems to be coming from motorists who believe that it is possible to pass a test in one location and not in another, not necessarily through any corrupt practice but...
- Rural Transport Scheme (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: Like Deputy Griffin, I support the Minister of State's efforts in this regard. I urge him to ensure he does not give consideration to the provisions of the McCarthy report, which previously sought to retract the funding provided for this transport initiative, which provides exceptionally good value for money. The east Clare accessible transport group, which started in my area and has now...
- Sports Capital Programme (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister of State has me confused, but that might not be difficult on that aspect of it. Some â¬35 million was allocated in the Estimates for 2011. When does the Minister of State propose to bring a programme of funding to the market, as it were?
- Sports Capital Programme (1 Jun 2011)
Timmy Dooley: I have every belief in the Minister of State. I know it is something he wants to get on with - spending money.
