- Community Employment Schemes (28 May 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the eligibility criteria for community employment schemes. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this matter for discussion. I recognise the major advances in community employment schemes since they were first introduced. They have a tremendous impact on communities in which they are operational and relevant. They provide a good source of labour for...

- 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. I have in the past voiced my dissatisfaction, here and in other fora, with the notion of the Government transferring responsibility from Departments to agencies, but this is an...
- Cancer Services: Motion (Resumed) (21 May 2008)
Timmy Dooley: It is always difficult to follow Deputy Healy-Rae in terms of his presentation.
- Cancer Services: Motion (Resumed) (21 May 2008)
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. That is a disturbing prediction in terms of the impact it will have not just on society, but on our entire culture. If we do not address the issue now, it is difficult to understand how we will be able to cope...

- Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (23 Apr 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I wish to share time with Deputy Charlie O'Connor.
- Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (23 Apr 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. Like many of the debates we have had on the health services, it gives us a chance to put forward our views on various topics. It is the duty of the Opposition to raise what it sees as the Government's inability to address the issues concerned. It is unfortunate, however, that specific areas of the health services are often bandied...
- Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (23 Apr 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I did not interrupt Deputy Shatter and he might afford me the same level of courtesy.
- Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (23 Apr 2008)
Timmy Dooley: If the Deputy wishes, I would be happy to heckle him.
- Health Services: Motion (Resumed) (23 Apr 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I, too, would prefer not to heckle. It is critically important that we focus on developing a strategy. We can all be the wise man in the pub or the hurler on the ditch and play down each element of the game, but the public expects more from us. It has put its faith in us to come at this from a different point of view by suggesting solutions that meet their needs rather than acting as...
- Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for sharing time. The challenges facing Ireland's jobs, environment and competitiveness are global. Against climate change, rising energy costs, transnational crime and global economic downturns our capacity, acting alone, to defend our interest is minimal. Ireland's sovereignty, power and strength is, after all, that capacity to act for our people in defending...
