- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: It would stop this sham throughout the year.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste's indignation is welcome. If I were to go back over the record of the Dáil when the Tánaiste was on the Opposition benches, I am sure it was the same script he repeated every week. The only difference now is that the Tánaiste has been on the Government benches for the past two and a half years. The record, unfortunately-----
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I need no history lesson from you, so keep to yourself for a minute and work out where you are going on your holidays.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I need no history lesson about what happened. The Tánaiste will be aware that there was an election in the meantime. The Government was elected on the basis of job creation commitments made by Labour and Fine Gael. The fact of the matter is, however, that the jobs are not there.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste has given interesting employment figures that seem to gloss over the facts. If one teases through them, one will find that many full-time jobs have become part-time ones. Labour activation has come into play with people being taken off the live register numbers and, in addition, people have emigrated. Therefore, what the Tánaiste believes to be an increase of 2,000...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste has announced the same thing three or four times. He has achieved nothing else in the meantime other than job announcements.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: There is a big difference between job announcements and those jobs coming to fruition. I know all about it. I come from a county that has often been subject to hundreds or thousands of job announcements over time, but they never came to fruition, so we will go back to the basic question.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I have two simple follow-up questions. How does the Tánaiste intend to demonstrate that work can actually pay?
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Taoiseach has said he will demonstrate that work can pay. Second, how will the Tánaiste engage differently with the unemployed to convince them to find a job in an environment where the Government has failed to create employment? One only has to look-----
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: Employers are unable to get the appropriate level of finance from the financial institutions to create jobs. They are only getting a trickle. One need only speak to the small and medium enterprises to appreciate that.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: We are witnessing history repeating itself with this Government's carry on.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)

- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: As we reach the end of this session, on behalf of the Fianna Fáil Party I express our sincere thanks to the staff of the House for their dedication and commitment throughout the session. It has been a particularly challenging time for them and their families. They deserve our good wishes as they attempt to have some time off from here. To the members of the media who have endured our...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: It is interesting that the Taoiseach has announced that he has seen the light and that the Government will create jobs.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: We are told there will be a new focus on jobs, but we have heard this many times in the past two and a half years and there has been little by way of real effort or exercise-----

Timmy Dooley: -----in bringing it to fruition.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Taoiseach told the Irish Independent today that the Government plans to create 75,000 jobs by taking people off the dole. I am all for giving people hope, but not on the back of false promises. It would seem that, instead of job creation, people must realise that work actually pays. The Taoiseach has come up with an interesting concept there. There is more than a hint of a belief that...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The Government's Action Plan for Jobs was announced 18 months ago and has been re-announced quite a few times since. It was due to create 100,000 jobs by 2016. How credible is the commitment given in the Government's previous promises on job creation that, unfortunately, have not come to fruition? How credible can today's announcement be when the Government has not achieved its targets?...
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: Given the chorus from the Labour Party, it is clearly upset by the facts being placed before it.
- Leaders' Questions (18 Jul 2013)
