Seanad: International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages. (4 May 2005)

Timmy Dooley: Senator Ryan is an engineer.

Seanad: International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages. (4 May 2005)

Timmy Dooley: There was much debate on Second Stage about the importance of this Bill in terms of what it might do for airlines with regard to ensuring continued development of low-cost carriers and also, perhaps, a change of emphasis away from forcing down airport and other related charges. Senator Paddy Burke referred to countries which might remain outside the convention. Will such a situation provide a...

Seanad: International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages. (4 May 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I also welcome the passage of the Bill and compliment the Minister, his staff and all involved in negotiating the Cape Town Convention and Protocol. As I said on Second Stage, it is important to maintain low-fare business in Ireland because it is vital in ensuring the growth and development of our tourism industry. A number of flights announced by Ryanair in the past are commencing from...

Seanad: International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages. (4 May 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I agree with his recognition of the work done by former Taoiseach, Mr. Charles Haughey, with regard to the IFSC. I have long recognised the importance of that decision. I do not know to what Senator Ryan refers when he says Mr. Haughey's name is not popular. It is extremely popular with myself and my colleagues, and it is great to have an opportunity to recognise the work done with regard to...

Seanad: Road Safety: Motion. (27 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister and support the motion. We have had a series of debates on road safety over the past number of years and it is critical that this issue be kept to the forefront of the public agenda, irrespective of whether we disagree on what the Government has done. Hopefully, such debates will continue to ensure drivers take cognisance of good practice on the roads. It is important...

Seanad: International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Bill 2005: Second Stage. (27 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I join my colleague, Senator Paddy Burke, in welcoming the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, to the House for what appears to be a relatively straightforward Bill allowing Ireland to ratify the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment, known as the Cape Town Convention, together with its protocol, and to adopt them into Irish law. This creates an international legal...

Seanad: International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention) Bill 2005: Order for Second Stage. (27 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I move: "That Second Stage be taken now."

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: People elected him.

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: People voted for the candidates. It does not say much for the opposition that was put up.

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I join with other colleagues in asking the Leader to arrange a debate on the environment as soon as possible. It would be useful for Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche to come here to outline the steps he has taken since his appointment to the Department. He has made a welcome input to many policy areas and I have no doubt we will see that come to...

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: We are a broadly-based party.

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: It was eight minutes too long.

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: Hear, hear.

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: Knock is doing well.

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Seanad Éireann" and substitute the following: "—welcomes the Government's efforts to ensure the timely provision of additional terminal capacity at Dublin Airport on an efficient, cost-effective basis; —notes the future arrangements for the provision of such capacity will be designed to ensure that both the location and operation of such...

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I know the development plan, but other considerations must be taken into account. We must not steamroll or bully anybody. Perhaps that will be the Opposition's approach should it come to power. Perhaps it will build terminals on the back of certain proposals from private developers. However, one must do so in a consultative format which involves due partnership and planning from all...

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator spoke about the western area of the airport and since they own and control the land there is no doubt that it is a McEvaddy proposal.

Seanad: State Airports: Motion. (20 Apr 2005)

Timmy Dooley: Notwithstanding that, there are many other proposals. Many of those in the private sector will have their own agenda which is about profit. I am not sure that it is necessarily about delivery of a service. Private companies are involved in the generation of profit whereas the State can be more focused on the delivery of a service because there is no profit requirement involved in what it...
