- Carbon Allowances: Motion (Resumed) (5 Jun 2008)
Timmy Dooley: The difficulties in America obviously had an impact on the financial sector here. The banks have completely reined themselves in, perhaps unnecessarily, in the context of offering people credit. It used to be far easier for first-time buyers to obtain credit. However, the position has changed and this is having an effect. The banks are seeking to take a belt-and-braces approach and the...

- Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome this legislation which will ultimately introduce the Dublin transport authority. Anyone who wants to check the record will find that it is rather unusual for me to support the establishment of an agency.

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to participate in the debate. The information on cancer that is available predicts that the number of people with cancer will double in the next 15 years.

If we do not address the issue now, it is difficult to understand how we will be able to cope...
