Timmy Dooley: The Senator would want to be locked up.

Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Mar 2005)

Timmy Dooley: I call for a debate on the practice of telemarketing, particularly in the telecommunications sector. A practice is emerging around the country such that some of the new entrants to the sector are calling consumers at night and in the evening requesting them to change from their incumbent provider, Eircom, to a new service. They are transferring consumers to their services without any written...

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: 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.
