European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I am sure history will view that differently. Deputy McHugh spoke about improving the country's and Government's image by dealing with our fiscal situation - dealing with the deficit and the banking crisis. The fact remains that it is continuing with the programme we developed. We had made very significant movements on debt reduction, close to €20 billion before-----

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I accept that and the Government has continued to do that. The only change in its banking policy is that it calls the two main banks two pillar banks. The word "pillar" is probably the only difference that has emerged compared with what we had done. I do not believe there has been any improvement in reputation as a result of any of the policies the Government has managed to bring to the...

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (22 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Bill and thank the Minister for the work he has done to date on this issue. I recognise the Bill, as the Minister said, is technical in nature and is removing a cap. There is no change in terms of the policy platform of the Government. I have been supportive of the actions and initiatives the Minister has taken since coming into office and will continue to be so if they are...

Employment and National Internship Scheme: Motion (27 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the proposers of the motion for giving us an opportunity to discuss what is one of the most important issues facing the Government and the House. It is right at this stage that we have a general review of the jobs budget or jobs initiative - I will not get into parsing the words. What was sold at the time of the election was that when the now Government parties came to power they...

Employment and National Internship Scheme: Motion (27 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: -----with which we faced the electorate and for which we suffered the wrath of the electorate. The present Government has continued to implement it and rightly so because it is the only solution. I know Deputy Mathews will have a different view when he speaks on this matter. Where has the strategic investment bank gone? It was going to resolve the jobs crisis and help the Minister of...

Employment and National Internship Scheme: Motion (27 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: We have seen a reduction in the levels of employment since the Government came to power and the jobs budget was announced and there is no sign of NewERA. Government Members come here and trot out the notion that somehow one could not burn the bondholders despite the fact the Government parties stated they would do so and that they would have a different approach to banking-----
