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.

Seanad: Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (27 Oct 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and welcome the introduction of the Bill in the Seanad. From my reading, the Bill is of a technical nature but, nonetheless, it is important and should come into force without delay.

Seanad: Water and Sewerage Schemes. (26 Oct 2005)

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Oct 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I support the calls for a detailed examination of the importation of food products, particularly beef products, from South America. We have taken a lax approach to this issue for far too long because of our stance on GATT negotiations and the effect they have on Irish trade. We have imported substandard products where the meat is not traceable and there is no knowledge about the kind of...
