- Taxi Regulations (12 Jan 2012)

- State Airports (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I did not manage to respond to the Minister on the matter that arose on another question but he indicated that certainty would be brought to it over the course of the coming year. I hope that was a broad, general statement and that he intends to deal with it a lot more quickly than by the end of the year. I would welcome certainty on the timescale. Comments by Government Members seem to...

- State Airports (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: Prior to Christmas we saw various proposals being put forward as the preferred option. One such proposal related to the development of a management structure similar to that of CIE with the three airports having an independent structure within an overall umbrella aviation company. I favour that approach as the way forward and would strongly support it. I welcome the Minister's comments in...

- State Airports (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for his reply and welcome his stated intention to publish redacted elements of the report. However, I am disappointed by the continued delay on this important issue. While I accept the Minister only received the report in December, the issue has been around for some time and his Department possesses quite a lot of corporate knowledge on it. The Minister is correct to...
- State Airports (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: The question is inherent. Why has it taken so long for the Government to act on commitments it made before the last general election, which on the one hand gave an expectation to one group of people, while on the other hand created fear in the minds of others? Can the Government bring this issue to a conclusion? Can the Minister set out his policy proposals and allow everyone to get on...

Timmy Dooley: It is clear that the reduction in the PSO subvention provided by the Government for the CIE group of companies has led to a considerable fare increase. Obviously, this is having an impact on people's capacity to travel to work. The Government has made a great deal of the fact that it has decided not to tax work. It could be strongly argued that the increase in the cost of getting to work -...
- Public Transport (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: As a result of the time I spent as a member of the Joint Committee on Transport, I am aware of the Deloitte report and the efforts the various companies have made. Is the Minister of State prepared to accept that, in view of the fact that he is not providing the group of companies with adequate resources, it is right and fitting that there should be an increase in passenger fares in order to...
- Dublin Airport Authority (12 Jan 2012)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister will be aware that the outgoing CEO, Mr. Collier, announced on 15 November, almost two months ago, his retention to resign. I am concerned about the length of time it has taken to begin the process of recruiting a new CEO. The Minister is correct to state advertisements have been prepared. However, I am not sure whether these have yet appeared. If they have done so, it was...
