Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister of State for addressing the matter. I ask him to continue the effort to ensure the funding is put in place without delay.

We are happy to know the funding has been included in the plan going forward, but it is important to move to the next stage. I am sure the Minister of State will do his...

It is refreshing to know that, when he held the meeting, he was in a...

Seanad: Clare Street Traffic Management Initiative: Statements. (11 Oct 2005)

Timmy Dooley: There is an opportunity for experimentation in some of the small scale projects and testing out new ideas, some of which would come from other countries. We are not leaders in terms of city planning and city transport planning and there is much to be learned, as the Minister of State knows. I know the Oireachtas transport committee continues to do this through visits to cities that are ahead...

Timmy Dooley: I ask the Leader to arrange a debate as soon as possible with the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to discuss water and sewerage schemes with specific emphasis on the serviced land initiative.

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (29 Jun 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I too welcome the Minister of State to the House and the opportunity to comment on this Bill. I am conscious that, notwithstanding this debate, an independent body has decided on the make-up of the Dáil constituencies for the near future. The forthcoming census may have implications for this. Will the Minister of State in his closing remarks indicate whether the census will affect...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (29 Jun 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I know that but as a citizen of west Limerick he might have a view on this proposal. If Limerick city is to grow it should move towards County Limerick, not County Clare. This would eventually impact on the Dáil constituencies because if Clare had succeeded in maintaining the portion of its population that was within its territory at previous boundary reviews it would now have five Deputies....

Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Jun 2005)

In many villages and towns this presents a real problem...
