Timmy Dooley: He got that one wrong because he did not really understand it and was prepared to change. It does not matter whether he got it or sought to get it wrong on guidance counselling.

- Private Members' Business. School Guidance Counsellors: Motion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: Children now need assistance from professionals who have liaised with universities and other third level institutions.

Timmy Dooley: The State will spend between â¬40 billion and â¬50 billion this year and the issue is what the Government prioritises in spending that amount. If it does not prioritise the work of the people in the gallery and the children who will be affected by this cut, shame on them. I appeal to them to change it.

- Business of Dáil (13 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I appreciate that. As the Chair can see, there is some difficulty here this morning in trying to reach a consensus on how we should proceed. Much of the difficulty relates to the Water Services (Amendment) Bill. I suggest the Chair allow the Whips ten minutes to met outside the House and suggest he suspends the sitting for ten minutes to allow them to discuss the issue. Considering the...

- Dublin Airport Authority (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I have no issue with the calibre of the individual whom the Minister has appointed to the chair. He is a candidate of exceptional quality and skill but he does not have the experience he will need in the absence of a chief executive and for this I am disappointed it has taken the Minister so long. Six months is an undue period. The Minister should have been able to find a chairman more...

- Jobs Initiative (12 Jan 2012)
