- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: We have seen the spectacle over the past two days where the fallout from the IBRC, Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, liquidation has led to the potential where junior bondholders ultimately might be paid back. The Government’s spokespeople have hedged, ducked and dived on this rather than coming out stating the facts.
- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste did such a fantastic job at the weekend, stating she would solve the problems and that there was no way on her watch would any of these junior bondholders be paid back. The facts belie what she said. Some of the more honourable Government spokespeople have said the junior bondholders will be paid back if the resources are there. If the one billion of euro that can only be...
- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: While I have already welcomed our improved economic growth, I equally condemn the fact it is a two-tier one. Rural Ireland feels left behind, a fact which the Government continues to fail to address. We have also witnessed a total failure to reform the political institutions of our State. If anything we have seen the people's trust in our political institutions fall even further under...
- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Some Ministers and backbenchers fail to accept that they promised something different but they have gone back to age old politics of the past. They are still coming in here believing they can hoodwink the people. I do not believe that will work in this instance.
- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It is all around the Deputy.
- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: To understand the reason confidence in this Government has fallen so dramatically since it received one of the biggest mandates in the history of the State, we need only contrast the commitments made prior to March 2011 by both the Fine Gael Party and Labour Party with the actions of those parties in Government in the period since then. The so-called democratic revolution has given way to...
- Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The unprecedented actions taken by the former Minister for Finance, the late Brian Lenihan, cannot be divorced from the current robust recovery. All Deputies will agree that his actions and plan have contributed to the positive news we see today. Brian Lenihan showed great bravery and courage in his role and this should not be forgotten when discussing the level of economic resolution and...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Timmy Dooley: It is the same.
- Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Timmy Dooley: I appreciate that. We do very well in supporting elite sports through maintenance of the participants but that sport, in particular, has a large capital requirement that other organisations do not. I am anxious the Minister can look into some funding to assist. There are only a couple of sporting organisations with the same capital requirement. I do not expect an answer now but I am...
- Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Timmy Dooley: The Minister will receive support from my party in anything seeks to do.
- Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014) Timmy Dooley: I welcome the capital investment of €45 million in public transport. The Minister will be aware that Mr. David Franks, chief executive of Iarnród Éireann, recently indicated that over time €100 million in investment will be required if the company’s operation is to remain viable and kept up to date. Does this €45 million go some way towards that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Dublin Port Company: Chairperson Designate (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I thank Ms McCaffrey for her presentation. In terms of what she just said, I would have thought her fiduciary duty is to Dublin Port. It is not macro-policy in terms of the Government's agenda with regard to other parts of the country. That is an issue for Government rather than for Ms McCaffrey so I wish her well. Ms McCaffrey has done a very good job to date. I am pleased that she is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Dublin Port Company: Chairperson Designate (9 Dec 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It was quite some time ago. Could we see an Independent in the next Dáil with a similar agenda? Third, as well as dealing with transport matters this committee has a responsibility in the area of tourism, and Dublin Port has been successful in attracting cruise ships to Dublin Port. It is obviously a lucrative business. Ireland is not in the Caribbean but yet there is considerable...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Dublin Port Company: Chairperson Designate (9 Dec 2014)
