- Order of Business (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: During yesterday's discussion between our party leader and the Taoiseach on Leaders' Questions it emerged that the Government had taken a decision to extend the GP cards to everybody over 70 years of age.
- Order of Business (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: One would have expected that legislation would be required and follow from the Taoiseach's statement. When is it intended to bring the legislation before the House? Are draft heads of a Bill available? Is it something that has emanated from the discussions between the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach in the past few days and was there a rush by him to get the good news out ahead of...

Timmy Dooley: I dare say Garth Brooks will be somewhat confused by the Tánaiste's request to finish up his tour here when she has not outlined a mechanism by which it can happen. She talks about process and facts coming to light.
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Can she tell us the facts that have come to light that would raise question marks over the process undertaken? What measures can be put in place in the absence of an appropriate appeals mechanism to try to resolve the issue?

Timmy Dooley: As it is Deputy Burton's first opportunity to take Leaders' Questions in her new role as Tánaiste, on behalf of our party, I wish her well in the work ahead as Tánaiste and look forward to continued robust interaction with her here. The decision seven days ago to prevent two of the five Garth Brooks concerts going ahead should have signalled to the Tánaiste and the Government...

Timmy Dooley: -----that had the potential to strike an economic blow to the city of Dublin and tarnish the international reputation of Ireland from a tourism perspective. Unlike the backbenchers in the Labour Party, I do not believe this is about a particular genre of entertainment. It is about the loss of €50 million in revenue to the hotel and catering sector of this city and the surrounding...
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: A week ago I published a short Bill to bring about a constructive outcome to this fiasco. The Taoiseach sat on his hands for a week. On Tuesday, on the Order of Business, I made it clear to him that, based on the contacts I had made, it was still possible to bring about a resolution to this issue.

Timmy Dooley: However, the Taoiseach said it was too late because the artist had made his decision. By so doing, the Taoiseach allowed the reputation of Ireland to be sullied by the hundreds of thousands of media clips of a negative connotation that appeared.
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It is embarrassing and it should not have happened. The Tánaiste's backbenchers laughed at us and they are continuing to do it, yet the Labour Party's own Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs wanted the Taoiseach to contact Garth Brooks-----

Timmy Dooley: I am trying to. With respect, I am being prevented from doing so by the heckles.

Timmy Dooley: My question is very clear. I said at the outset it was not about the genre of entertainment or even-----
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It is very clear now, and the Tánaiste's backbenchers are adding to it, that the issue has gone from fiasco to farce.
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste and the Government bear considerable responsibility in that regard.
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The questions I put to the Tánaiste are these. Why did the Taoiseach sit on his hands for a week? Why did the Government sit back for a week, when even the Mexicans and the Moneygall native, Barack Obama, are getting involved, yet neither the Taoiseach nor the Government was prepared to do it?
- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Will the Tánaiste tell us, now that the penny has dropped with the Taoiseach that this is an important issue, what options are being addressed or discussed by the Government and what direction will issue to the city manager?

- Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It is welcome that the Tánaiste treated the issue with the seriousness it deserves and based on the economic criteria I have set out. It seems that there is something of a disconnect between the Tánaiste and her backbenchers. Clearly, the members of her party sought to ensure she was elected. If Garth Brooks is tuning in on the web, as I understood he did to some of Dublin City...
