As the Minister of State here tonight...

Order of Business (9 Dec 2010)

Timmy Dooley: Is there proposed amending legislation dealing with NAMA? As the Tánaiste will be aware, NAMA has opposed a number of high-profile examinerships recently. An example pertains to the Whelans Group, in respect of which NAMA sought to oppose the examinership as proposed. This has an impact on jobs, which are being lost. Is it possible to review the legislation and look to the broader...

Stability and the Budgetary Process: Motion (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

Timmy Dooley: Much of the business of this House is politics as usual. However, it is not politics or business as usual for the vast majority of people who are enduring this economic recession and who are in crisis in terms of losing their jobs.

Stability and the Budgetary Process: Motion (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

Timmy Dooley: They have been calling for an election for a long time. There is a clear process following which there will be a general election but Opposition Members are playing politics with the election.

There is outrage on all sides. Now the Opposition parties want...

Corporation Tax: Motion (Resumed) (24 Nov 2010)

Timmy Dooley: As Deputy Michael McGrath has noted, it is vital that we collectively speak in favour of this motion and I am happy to support the amendment. The contributions from both sides of the House clearly indicate that any future Government will retain the 12.5% corporation tax rate, which emerged from the old manufacturing tax rate of 10%. I am familiar with the latter tax because it was part of a...
