- Statutory Sick Pay: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (24 Oct 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this important debate and I thank my colleague, Deputy Calleary, on having the foresight to bring the matter to the House. It is clear raising this issue has started to ruffle the feathers of some of those on the Labour Party backbenches. I had the benefit of hearing what Deputy Nash had to say before I left my office. I was a little disappointed...
- Statutory Sick Pay: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (24 Oct 2012)
Timmy Dooley: Indeed, or even of the committees on which the Deputy sits. He sought to suggest that while some other countries did not have this type of system, many did.

The situation is similar when we try to compare personal taxes for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Discussion with Irish Aviation Authority (24 Oct 2012)
Timmy Dooley: Regarding the recent events around the pilot training centre in Waterford, many members have met with the families involved who have been deeply affected. It is a unique situation. I believe, without setting a precedent, the IAA should find a way of assisting those involved who find themselves in exceptionally difficult circumstances. People remortgaged their homes or borrowed from family...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Discussion with Irish Aviation Authority (24 Oct 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome both Mr. Brennan's presentation and its brevity. It is welcome because members wish to deal with a number of questions. If I may, I will deal with both aspects of the presentation separately. I have had an opportunity to discuss the flight time issues in respect of the EASA rules with a number of pilots and my questions will be asked from that context. I will focus on five areas...

- Other Questions: State Airports (18 Oct 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for his frankness, but he and I differ significantly as regards airports. He believes that they should be commercial ventures. While I accept his point about putting them on a secure financial footing, he has also stated previously that, after being given the best chance, they either take off or crash land. If we are serious about balanced regional development, which...
