Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Jan 2006)

Timmy Dooley: In light of the increase in the incidence of post office robberies, which Senator Mansergh identified, I call on An Post to put in place an improved security system for rural post offices. On the same night as the incident in Tipperary, an aggravated burglary took place at Whitegate post office, where a young woman was tied up for more than six hours. It is a worrying trend and a matter with...

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Dec 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I agree with the analysis of Senators Brian Hayes, O'Toole and others on the march last Friday.

Seanad: Railway Safety Bill 2001: Committee Stage. (16 Nov 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I ask the Minister of State to consider this amendment. Senator Burke is genuine in his effort to resolve the issue. Many of us recognise there is a problem with regard to accountability of various State agencies. It would be helpful if the Minister of State had another look at the issue. If he cannot do it on Committee Stage, perhaps something can be done for Report Stage.
