Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: It will reform the victim impact statement mechanism to grant victim status to next-of-kin in homicide cases. It will introduce new mechanisms to deal with an acquittal where compelling evidence of guilt emerges after the acquittal.

Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: We should not have expected more from Fine Gael, which, when last in government, failed so miserably on crime. It stopped the prison building programme, put no extra gardaí on the streets and invented the revolving door mechanism. Before the last election Fine Gael was pledging such mad ideas as boot camps for problem children and gun bins in youth clubs. Could we have expected more? I...

Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Bill. It has been clear for some time that legislation of this type is necessary. We are all aware of the difficulties associated with the abuse of alcohol and of the necessity to introduce some measures to curb the consumption of alcohol. However, that has to be set against a backdrop of a culture of the consumption of alcohol....

Lisbon Treaty: Statements. (18 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: I respect the decision of the Irish people as Deputies are the guardians of the Constitution and must respect the principles of democracy. Notwithstanding this, a real challenge has been posed to those who are elected to represent the Irish people. These challenges existed before this vote and the Lisbon treaty sought to resolve them. I refer to matters such as energy security,...

Carbon Allowances: Motion (Resumed) (5 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter and to address the motion, which is populist in nature. It is always popular to suggest that one intends to take from the rich or big business and give to the poor. This is laudable at one level and, in a sense, it is a no-brainer. Unfortunately, however, the motion misses the point and in my view what is proposed represents Robin Hood...

Carbon Allowances: Motion (Resumed) (5 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: Demand obviously had a great deal to do with that. I am referring to the shock to the system experienced by the economy rather than the demand for housing.

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...

Lisbon Reform Treaty Report: Statements (4 Jun 2008)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this important debate. As a member of the Joint Committee on European Scrutiny, I welcome the provisions of the Lisbon treaty. I hope that members of the public will find it within their capacity to vote "Yes" on Thursday next in order to give effect to the provisions outlined in the report. I accept that there are many other important elements to...
