- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: ----- we will not be seeking an extension of this session. We will not be complaining about the length of the Dáil session. However, on a serious point I hope in the course of the next session we have an opportunity to discuss real Dáil reform. It is not about the length of time we sit, but about the way in which we order our business.
- Order of Business (18 Jul 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The way we do our business in this House needs to be reformed. While I will not make an overly political point, it is unfortunate we are dealing with so many items on the last day.

- 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.
