Employment and National Internship Scheme: Motion (27 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: We have seen a reduction in the levels of employment since the Government came to power and the jobs budget was announced and there is no sign of NewERA. Government Members come here and trot out the notion that somehow one could not burn the bondholders despite the fact the Government parties stated they would do so and that they would have a different approach to banking-----

Employment and National Internship Scheme: Motion (27 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: The shareholders were well burned; the Government did not have to do that. Ask anyone who had a few bob invested. The shareholders were gone. The Government somehow suggested the guarantee was the root of the problem. However, €3 billion of unsecured debt is sitting in Anglo Irish Bank which is not covered by the bank guarantee to which the Government accuses us of signing up.

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (22 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Bill and thank the Minister for the work he has done to date on this issue. I recognise the Bill, as the Minister said, is technical in nature and is removing a cap. There is no change in terms of the policy platform of the Government. I have been supportive of the actions and initiatives the Minister has taken since coming into office and will continue to be so if they are...

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: This debate provides us with an opportunity to have a broader discussion as the Bill is somewhat technical in nature as if gives effect to the changes agreed by the Heads of Government in June. I wish to pick up on a number of points mentioned by Deputy McHugh. It is important to try to remove some of the myth that has surrounded the transition from one Government to another. There has...

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: Notwithstanding that, it was the previous Government that negotiated and fought the general election on that memorandum of understanding and the programme developed and agreed with the troika. We put it to the people and clearly they spoke regarding our record, which we absolutely accept. Unfortunately the current Government fought the general election on a very different set of proposals,...

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I am sure history will view that differently. Deputy McHugh spoke about improving the country's and Government's image by dealing with our fiscal situation - dealing with the deficit and the banking crisis. The fact remains that it is continuing with the programme we developed. We had made very significant movements on debt reduction, close to €20 billion before-----

European Financial Stability Facility and Euro Area Loan Facility (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I accept that and the Government has continued to do that. The only change in its banking policy is that it calls the two main banks two pillar banks. The word "pillar" is probably the only difference that has emerged compared with what we had done. I do not believe there has been any improvement in reputation as a result of any of the policies the Government has managed to bring to the...
