Timmy Dooley: On Dr. Piedrafita's view of the role of national parliaments and in particular their interaction with the European Parliament, she will be familiar with the fact that in the past there were a greater number of joint parliamentary sessions organised primarily in Brussels by different groupings there. As a method of ensuring that the national parliaments remain more in touch with what is going...

Other Questions: Tourism Promotion (27 Jun 2013)

Timmy Dooley: Deputy Dessie Ellis is jumping the gun because Question No. 11 tabled by my colleague, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív, is about that matter. However, I will be happy to hear the reply and agree with the Deputy's point. We were talking primarily about The Gathering, marketing campaigns and so forth. The focus of The Gathering is a good one. While activity has been ongoing for some...

Other Questions: Road Safety Strategy (27 Jun 2013)

Timmy Dooley: In the Minister's contacts with the Road Safety Authority, has the authority at any time raised concerns about the level of or the potential for a drop in enforcement by the Garda due to the reduction in the number of gardaí because of Government decisions that have been taken?

Other Questions: Roads Maintenance (27 Jun 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I have raised the following with the Minister before but do not want to get into a row about it this evening. Question Time is being abused by the approach the Government parties are taking. The House would be better served if the Minister made statements on decisions he has taken. The way questions have been phrased - there appears to be a level of uniformity across the board - allows...

Other Questions: Roads Maintenance (27 Jun 2013)

Timmy Dooley: While it is appropriate that everyone has an opportunity to ask questions, it frustrates the process by which Members can hold the Government to account and raise issues. In fairness to the Minister, he is always truthful and does not evade questions, but I would like more time from an Opposition perspective.

Timmy Dooley: In a bygone era, the party of which I am a member was accused in government of a lot, but when it came to affording time to the Opposition to question Ministers, there was no filibustering. We held parliamentary party meetings to elicit information from Ministers and left Question Time, in the main, to the Opposition.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Roads Authority Expenditure (27 Jun 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I take the Minister's point that the potential future growth in traffic on the M50 cannot be resolved in isolation, and it of course has to be part of a co-ordinated plan. However, I am not convinced the Minister or his Department are taking seriously the potential for the M50 to reach a threshold beyond which problems are created. From an historical point of view, we all look at the legacy...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Road Improvement Schemes (27 Jun 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I take the Minister's point about whether this is an urban versus rural issue. I was not seeking to characterise it in that way. The point I make is that people in rural areas are responsible for their own laneways and for management and maintenance within the curtilage of their sites. That happens in housing estates as well. I am familiar with residents of developments in rural areas who...
