Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister of State to the House to discuss this critically important issue. I am taken aback by Senator Bannon's contribution because it appears nothing in Fine Gael policy has changed. He has outlined proposals for massive spending and any of us who remember the failed policies of the past know that we do not spend beyond our means. He wants new school buses and roads sorted out...

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: We have a relatively wealthy economy but only recently has that been the case. For many years we suffered from a lack of investment because the money was not available. We have done well in recent years on the back of the Celtic tiger and of good policy decisions by all sides — the Government is to the fore in that but Fine Gael also had an input. Senator Bannon should recognise, however,...

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: How does Senator Bannon propose to raise the finance to deliver all he will do in such a short time? Will he increase taxes or make cuts in other areas?

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator is usually on his feet giving out about proposed cuts so I wonder from where the money will come. Perhaps he has some rare ideas that we might hear in the debate on the Finance Bill. There were many calls in the House to discuss urban and rural transport initiatives and it was decided to split them between two debates. The debate dealing with Dublin was helpful and set out clear...

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: He has gone to the Department of Transport.

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: He is not half as lost as Fine Gael.

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: If we were going in the Senator's direction we would go over the cliff.

Seanad: Regional Transport Policy: Statements. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator is tied to one of them most of the time.

Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: It is one way to ensure re-election.

Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: That is in the Lower House.

Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: It is being investigated.

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I join Senators O'Toole and Ulick Burke in calling for a second debate on transport outside Dublin in particular. It is critically important in light of the Government policy on balanced regional development that we have a full discussion in this House on all aspects of transportation infrastructure outside the capital. Great deficiencies exist, particularly on the western rail corridor and...

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: The only way to address that at this stage is through a debate in this House. Regarding the removal of signage in counties Tipperary in Kerry, as noted by Senator Mansergh, we have a similar problem in County Clare where the sign at the Spancel Hill cross is regularly removed by tourists. I would like to see proposals for more permanent signage to prevent this sort of tourism vandalism.

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: The rod licence.

Seanad: Order of Business. (8 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I support calls for a debate on transport. There has been a great deal of debate about congestion on the M50 and the proposals to build an outer ring road. We must have a balanced debate about this matter, particularly in view of the fact that life exists outside Dublin and the M50. People in many parts of the country must endure congestion and delays on a daily basis and it would be...

Seanad: Order of Business. (3 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: Like other Senators I would welcome a debate on the future of the health services. We should compliment the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, on the speed with which she has grappled with some of the very serious issues in her new Department. We should not get hung up on labels or terms for the future as it is all about the delivery of service. In the case of...

Seanad: Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (2 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: He was a wise man.

Seanad: Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (2 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: Is Senator Browne seeking time off as a consequence of that role? That is stretching it in order to get several weeks off work.

Seanad: Parental Leave (Amendment) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (2 Feb 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Bill and the discussion that has taken place about it. From the Minister of State's perspective, this is about equality. Several Members have mentioned that responsibility for this area is spread across several Departments. As I understand it that is an issue pertaining to Europe, particularly the equality issue. The Minister of State has succeeded in bringing equality to the...

Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Dec 2004)

Timmy Dooley: That claim is way off the mark.
