Aer Lingus (16 Feb 2012)

Timmy Dooley: The Minister might be aware that he has the capacity to appoint two or three people to the board of Aer Lingus. My understanding is that, in the past, the Government gave a particular mandate to those directors as regards strategic decisions by the board, requiring them to take into account the notion of regional development. While I accept it is not possible to encumber board members on...

Light Rail Project (16 Feb 2012)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister's clarification that there were discussions with the other interested parties in advance.

It feels the line may have to be closed for...

Finance Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2012)

Timmy Dooley: It is a very difficult environment in which to try to support and nurture the small entrepreneur and medium-sized enterprise. The reality is that the pillar banks that have been identified by all sides are, sadly, not providing the cash. They talk about doing so.

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on the Finance Bill.

Order of Business (14 Feb 2012)

Timmy Dooley: When can we expect to see the legislation underpinning the NewERA proposal, on which the Taoiseach's party was voluble in previous times? We had information yesterday on the jobs initiative and there seems to be a drastic lack of information on the opportunities to be provided by NewERA and the 100,000 jobs associated with it. If we had legislation before the House we would be able to...
