- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Road Safety Statistics (19 Dec 2013)
Timmy Dooley: To be clear, I do not believe there is any issue with the strategy or the body of legislation in place. I can only look to the words of the Minister's expert, the chairman of the Road Safety Authority, Gay Byrne, who recently stated reducing the number of deaths on Irish roads was "unravelling before our eyes." In an interview with the Irish Independent on 12 December he blamed the increase...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Road Safety Statistics (19 Dec 2013)
Timmy Dooley: There is clearly a difference of opinion between the Minister and the chairman of the Road Safety Authority. Has the Minister had one-to-one discussions with Mr. Byrne recently?

I recognise that the Minister is concerned, rightly so - we are all concerned - but in trying to find a solution or some path towards reducing the...

- Topical Issue Debate: Cabotage Regulations (18 Dec 2013)
Timmy Dooley: While the Minister has set out his and the Department's position, it is worth noting that while the cabotage laws are in place, it is vital that we protect our haulage sector. As an island nation, we need to have indigenous road haulage operators in place. Operators in other countries, particularly in central Europe, can move trucks freely and, therefore, provide an adequate transportation...

- Topical Issue Debate: Cabotage Regulations (18 Dec 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this issue, which, as the Minister is well aware, is of great concern to the road haulage sector. It certainly appears that Irish authorities have barely policed the cabotage legislation, which has resulted in the awarding of haulage contracts worth millions of euro to foreign haulage firms that pay no taxes in Ireland and employ no people here....
