Seanad: Decentralisation Programme: Statements. (30 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: Of course it was. To the best of my recollection, nobody on this side said that 10,000 staff would be delivered in three years. It is the use of a selective quotation, a practice with which the Opposition is familiar.

Seanad: Decentralisation Programme: Statements. (30 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: A Member referred to the Fianna Fáil-led Government as being over-ambitious. This is the first time an Opposition has criticised a Government for being ambitious. This is what the Opposition lacks, irrespective of whether it can see it. The reality is that the Government has been ambitious in regard to delivering jobs to the regions, removing the clog in infrastructure from Dublin city and...

Timmy Dooley: The Senator is making a false assumption.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I join Senators in seeking a debate, as Senator Norris has mentioned, about the Gulfstream jet that is landing at Shannon. Such a debate would afford us the opportunity to put some facts on the record. I am sickened each day to hear Shannon Airport being besmirched by Members on the other side of the House. It is time we had an opportunity to reply.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: It is a disgrace how Senator Norris and others continue to destroy the good name of Shannon Airport, as well as the good name of the United States Government.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: That Government has been extremely supportive of this country, not least in terms of foreign direct investment.

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed). (25 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: It is time there was a debate on this. I am sick at how the names of County Clare and Shannon Airport are dragged through the mud in this House without an opportunity to reply.

Seanad: Order of Business. (25 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator is making a speech.

Seanad: Order of Business. (25 Nov 2004)

Seanad: Order of Business. (25 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator is making a speech and what he says is rubbish.

Seanad: Order of Business. (25 Nov 2004)

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I hope the M3 route does not cross the Senator's land.

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: What was the extra cost of the route?

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: What schools will we decide not to build to fund the Senator's proposal?

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "That" and substitute the following: Seanad Éireann commends the Government's commitment and proactive approach in the delivery of the upgraded national roads network; —notes the Government's commitment to the protection of our national heritage and the preservation of archaeological sites and features; —notes the on-going liaison between...

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I have no doubt the Senator did so. However, he seems to suggest that the only concerns that he had about the P route were the points that he raised. At no point did he refer to the people who would be most affected by the development of that road. It may be an oversight on the Senator's part, but it is an important point.

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: We can get into that again.

Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: The capacity of the existing two lane road is 13,800 vehicles per day. That is not capable of delivering the current needs. This project will result in reductions of between 75% and 90% in through traffic in the towns of Dunshauglin, Navan and Kells. That will have a tremendous impact on the lives of those who live in those towns. While it is very important to protect archaeological elements...

Seanad: Order of Business. (24 Nov 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I support Senators O'Toole and Brian Hayes regarding the plight of the Limerick great-grandmother. It is a poor use of Garda and prison resources to deal with a woman in her state in that fashion. However, that does not detract from the fact the control of dogs is an issue. Perhaps the Leader might organise a relatively short debate in this House, particularly in the run-up to Christmas. Much...
