- Constitutional Amendment on Children: Motion (Resumed) (19 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this debate. There is little doubt that the issue is critical to each of us. Every Deputy is committed to ensuring the legislative framework is strengthened to improve the protection and welfare of children. Clearly, an amendment to the Constitution is a critical component of the process and I welcome and recognise the significant efforts of the...
- Constitutional Amendment on Children: Motion (Resumed) (19 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Deputies Kenny and Gilmore and others have discussed the matter on the Order of Business, but none of them took the opportunity to hold a referendum. Were it straightforward, an amendment would already have been made, but it has not. It took until 2007 to have a referendum Bill published and a protracted period was required for the committee to agree a resolution. It is not unfair to...
- Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction (Fixed Penalty Notice) (Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. Although I come from a coastal county where fishing is not at a level associated with the constituency of the Minister of State or other constituencies around the coastline, it is still an important feature of economic life there. I wish to be associated with the positive remarks Deputy Byrne made on the appointment of Deputy Connick...
- Cancer Screening Programme (11 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to discuss a matter of significant importance to the lives of the women in my constituency in County Clare. I have put a considerable amount of effort and time into the issue over the years, including during my time in the Seanad. My Seanad colleagues and I sought to have the BreastCheck service rolled out along the western seaboard. For some time prior to that,...
- Leaders' Questions (5 May 2010)
Timmy Dooley: To vote out the Labour Party.

Timmy Dooley: The Deputy is back to wearing the blue tie already.
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I wish to share time with the Minister of State, Deputy Billy Kelleher, Deputies Thomas Byrne, Darragh O'Brien and Michael McGrath and the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan.
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. Yet again, we are discussing an Opposition proposal that purports to somehow resolve our current economic recession and our fractured banking system. This proposal is unique in that it purports to resolve both but, yet again, it is a case of smoke and mirrors. The Labour Party sets out the problem. We all know we are going through one...
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Deputy Burton might disagree but, with respect, she spent weeks in this House bleating about the fact we were going to overpay for the assets that NAMA would ultimately acquire.
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: We did not overpay and Deputy Burton now accepts we did not, yet she claims this causes another problem.
- Strategic Investment Bank: Motion (Resumed). (28 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: We have invested further taxpayers' money in the banks but that is the right thing to do. One cannot just ignore the banks and the economic situation and create some kind of a magic institution that will resolve the problem. The recapitalisation works towards this and will make the banks fit for purpose. The Government has placed onerous lending requirements on the two main banks, with a...
- Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute this legislation, which is one of the most important aspects of the financial resolution infrastructure to come before the House in recent months. While we may say this about almost every item of legislation aimed at the resolution of the economic crisis, this Bill is particularly apposite since it deals, to a large extent, with regulation. There is...
- Energy Security: Motion (Resumed) (21 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Did the Deputy get to mention Tallaght?
- Energy Security: Motion (Resumed) (21 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate and thank Deputy Coveney and others for tabling a comprehensive motion on which an amendment has been tabled. As Deputies will have noted, there is little divergence between the contributions being made on all sides. I recognise the role played by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, in his...
- Energy Security: Motion (Resumed) (21 Apr 2010)
Timmy Dooley: Deputy Sargent outlined the position regarding oil. We are all concerned that reserves will not be able to provide for the future. This makes it incumbent on us to ensure security of supply of the energy we require. In that respect, I welcome the initiatives taken by Shannon Development and other State agencies. Shannon Development has focused attention on the idea of having a green...

- Road Traffic Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Mar 2010)
Timmy Dooley: If the arrangement is agreeable to Deputy Tom Hayes, I will share this 20 minute time slot with him and have 10 minutes each. In welcoming the opportunity to contribute to this Bill, I recognise the tenacity of the Minister in the efforts he has made to bring this Bill before the House. He has certainly fought a battle at his own end and I recognise his efforts. He and I remonstrated...
