Adoption Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2009)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I recognise and welcome the fact that the Government, on behalf of its citizens, has decided to ratify the Hague Convention. Some will argue, and rightly so, that this legislation is long overdue. Adoption in itself is a complex and difficult area, but foreign adoption involves even more complex issues and needs to be considered...

Adoption Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2009)

Timmy Dooley: The Deputy certainly did not suggest that. It is critically important that the prospective parents' rights and expectations are balanced with the rights and expectations of children as these currently exist, in some places in very primitive conditions. We must also look at the potential for children who are not yet born which plays into the process of adoption. The Bill is about protecting...

Public Transport Regulation Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Nov 2009)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on Second Stage of the Public Transport Regulation Bill 2009. The primary purpose of the Bill is to provide a good quality cost-efficient public bus passenger transport service for the people of the country. To effect that vision, the Government believes there is a need to examine the licensing regime that exists and examining it clearly shows a...

The Opposition Deputies have provided us with a timely opportunity to discuss the matter but, unfortunately, they have missed the point in an effort to gain political kudos yet again, something which is the detriment of this House and society generally. The motion is short and seems to indicate that the Government is responsible for...
