Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I am concerned because it is not mandatory. I accept that it would take time to implement and I am prepared not to push it if I receive a commitment from the Minister of State to examine this issue prior to Report Stage and that he will consider having everyone involved vetted over a period of time, for example, in the next three years from today whereby all individuals involved in the taxi...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I accept that. Concerns have been expressed by limousine and hackney licence holders whose vehicles are owned by private companies regarding an individual who may be a director of the company which holds the licence. I understand changes to the regulations made since last September preclude such persons from obtaining an SGS pass for the second part of the process of changing a vehicle. Is...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I accept that the Minister of State's view is that it is a matter for the NTA to work out, but it will place a burden on some of the companies which must seek a new licence in the company name. Such companies usually began with a hackney or limousine operator who grew his or her business and perhaps bought a bus or two to do school runs or engage in work for hire. This person is now insured...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Forthcoming General Affairs Council: Discussion (19 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I join with the Chairman and other colleagues in welcoming the Minister of State to the committee. He has a considerable track record and I have no doubt that he will continue his work in a non-partisan manner, demonstrating humility every step of the way. It has been a hallmark of his time on this committee. I am being absolutely sincere about it because for seven or eight years I worked...

Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: We should leave bedfellows out of this. I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. The motion tabled by my colleague, Deputy Michael McGrath, calls for a serious debate that can allow us to identify solutions to the crisis of mortgage arrears. As others have noted, there is no distilled wisdom or solution on any of the benches of this House. I hope we can have a reasonable...

Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I appreciate the Deputy allowing me to make an interjection. There is a lie or an untruth being peddled by the Tánaiste and other members of this Government, that somehow the Irish State only had enough funding, when the current Government came into office, to sustain itself for five months. That is an absolute untruth.

Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: Whether it was five or six months is not the point. There was a memorandum of understanding in place with the troika which guaranteed funding right up to the end of this year. That was in place when the Government took office. Will the Deputy accept that as a point of fact and get away from the notion that there was not enough funding to sustain the State for a longer period-----
