Prospects for Irish Economy: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2012)

Timmy Dooley: I accept that. I also accept that landlords have been far more understanding. After all, many of them have had no other alternative. However, as a result of their location, etc., some businesses have gone to the wall because their landlords saw better opportunities and, in some instances, effectively forced them into bankruptcy. That is particularly sad.

Prospects for Irish Economy: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2012)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. In recent years we have had regular debates in the House about the economy but unfortunately we may not have been as frank as we should have been. If one looks to the projections made by the Government and various different support agencies in recent months it is clear we are not reaching the targets that were set. As to past...

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.
