Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport (International Conventions) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (9 Mar 2004)

Timmy Dooley: In some quarters the discussion seems to be academic in that many First World airlines already adhere to those standards and as we do not have much trade between the two countries it is not particularly relevant.

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I join Senator O'Toole and others in calling for a debate on the IBEC report. The title for such a debate should be "balanced regional development". Some concerns have been raised, particularly in regard to the level of job losses. Not only have jobs been lost, but no job creation has taken place in tandem with that in the mid-west region. The numbers are quite staggering. There is great...

Seanad: Aer Lingus Bill 2003: Second Stage. (3 Mar 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I join with my colleagues in welcoming the Minister of State to the House on what is an important Bill which is technical in nature.

Seanad: Dormant Accounts: Motion. (25 Feb 2004)

Timmy Dooley: The terms "smash and grab" and "slush fund" have been heard in the Chamber. I could understand this outcry if the Government had decided to move the moneys into the Exchequer and make it part of day to day budgeting.

Seanad: Dormant Accounts: Motion. (25 Feb 2004)

Timmy Dooley: The Opposition has awoken to the fact that it is not in Government and, therefore, not in a position to manage the economy. In recognising that it will not be in Government for a while, there is this outpouring of grief.

Seanad: Dormant Accounts: Motion. (25 Feb 2004)
