- Order of Business (9 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: The licensing of healthcare facilities Bill is due to provide for a mandatory system of licensing for public and private healthcare facilities. When can we expect the Bill to be introduced in the House? Obviously, it has implications, particularly in terms of the protection of maternal life Bill.

Timmy Dooley: The Tánaiste should not take it personally.
- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: On Sunday public transport users are facing industrial action by hard-pressed Bus Éireann workers. As the Tánaiste knows, this action has arisen after 11 long months of deliberations, negotiations and protracted discussions between management, the Labour Court and workers. An impasse has now been reached. State subvention is down by about 15% of the company's turnover, cut...
- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: It is estimated that approximately 114,000 secondary and college-going students will be affected if the dispute spreads to the school transport network. That should bring into stark focus for the Government the seriousness of this issue and demonstrates that action needs to be taken by the Government. Where do the Tánaiste and the Government stand on this issue? Does the Government...
- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the Tánaiste. He has set out the company position. One would have thought the Labour Party in government would have looked at the workers' situation.
- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: It is all right to talk about the Labour Court and the Labour Relations Commission but, effectively, what is being unilaterally imposed on the workers, who are on an average of €33,000 a year, is a hit of €3,000. That is a phenomenal amount from the pay packets of these individuals and their families. It is not bonus pay. It is all right to take about core pay, overtime, time...

- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I would have thought the Labour Party in government would look after those on €30,000 a year but the Tánaiste seems to have just bought the company line, and he is prepared to come in here and trot it out, with no reference whatsoever to the workers.
- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)

- Leaders' Questions (9 May 2013)

- Europe Week: Statements (8 May 2013)
Timmy Dooley: It is clear from all speakers in this debate that the European Union, as we know it today, is in a state of flux. Crisis after crisis, summit after summit, the Union has found itself asking the same question: where do we go from here? That question has yet to be answered by those who are currently driving the European project. In fact, the only constant since the economic and financial...
