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)

Timmy Dooley: Did he go there to bring back the death penalty?

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...

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

Timmy Dooley: We can have a debate about Shannon Airport at another time and I would be happy to advance the case in that regard. The State must have an objective of delivering a facility that will cater for the needs of the travelling public in a manner that continues to encourage growth which is critically important for a vibrant and active tourism sector in this country.

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

Timmy Dooley: The facility must be delivered in an efficient and reliable manner, one that will encourage the airlines to continue to operate through the airport. It must be cost effective and ensure the low-cost model which now pertains throughout the aviation sector reduces the cost. The Mullarkey report has been mentioned in a very selective way during this debate. It refers to an independent and...

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

Timmy Dooley: The Senator succeeds in that regard on a regular basis.
