- Order of Business (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: There was never a question in that regard. I clarified that I intended to seek an explanation as to why I was unable to pass documents to the Tánaiste and others.
- Order of Business (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: We do not agree. Not all the facts about the proposed sale of Aer Lingus are available to Members of the House or to the Irish people. If we are to discharge our duties in line with our mandate, we need the information. I have additional sections of the Nyras report, if the Tánaiste wants it. I tried to give it to the Tánaiste earlier, but was prevented from doing so by the...

Timmy Dooley: It would be appropriate-----
- Order of Business (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: Yes, it is. It is truthful. I ask the Tánaiste to get the little chirpy man beside her to stop talking while I am addressing her. I ask the Tánaiste to delay the decision to have the vote cast later today to allow the transport committee an opportunity to peruse all the details, to sit next week to address the matter and to allow for a reasoned debate.

Timmy Dooley: Does the Tánaiste recall that we got it back?
- Leaders' Questions (28 May 2015)

- Leaders' Questions (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the Tánaiste. We are now clear that the Government is putting all its stock on the sale on the basis of growth projections for Aer Lingus. Those growth projections were already there. Aer Lingus's corporate strategy proposed the addition of one wide-bodied aircraft per year for the next five years. So it was going to generate those jobs anyway. Mr. Willie Walsh made it very...
- Leaders' Questions (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste seems to suggest it only relates to activity outside the State. She must have been drinking the Kool-Aid that was presented on "Morning Ireland" by the chief executive of Aer Lingus where he commented on procurement: "Ah, don't worry about it. It's all stuff outside the State." Ground handling is not a procured service at the three bases in Ireland. I doubt if the people...
- Leaders' Questions (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: The question is the one the Tánaiste unfortunately failed to answer. Will she stall the vote this evening? Will she allow for an appropriate discussion of all the facts involving all the stakeholders before the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications?
- Leaders' Questions (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: Next week is available to us. There would be no hesitation on the part of Members from any side of the House to come back for a couple of days so that the committee can tease through this. It would also then allow the people ultimately to see what is happening. The Tánaiste might not convince me, but she might convince some of her own backbenchers and some the people outside this...
- Leaders' Questions (28 May 2015)
Timmy Dooley: However, from what I have seen in this report, it certainly supports the contention that the Government is rushing the decision in this House because it does not want all the facts to be made available. If the Tánaiste is in any doubt as to Aer Lingus's intentions-----

Timmy Dooley: -----she should be under no illusions that when IAG becomes the owner, its board of directors and shareholders will only be interested in one thing. It is about reducing those costs to the absolute minimum level possible and increasing the profitability.
