Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Feb 2004)

Timmy Dooley: Will the Leader try to arrange, at the earliest possible date, for the Minister for Transport to come to the House to debate the implications of yesterday's ruling by the European Commission? There is much confusion in the mid-west and in County Clare in particular regarding Shannon Airport. There is much concern as to the implications of this ruling for the airport and for regional publicly...

Seanad: Order of Business. (28 Jan 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I join with my colleagues in welcoming yesterday's announcement about the proposed stadium at Lansdowne Road. Perhaps the Leader could organise for the Minister to come to the House at the earliest possible opportunity to discuss the proposals so that we may compliment him on achieving a compromise among many different groups. More important, we must look to the future and consider the...

Seanad: Order of Business. (27 Jan 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I wish to be associated with the calls to the Leader of the House for a debate at the earliest possible opportunity on the issue of under age crime and, in particular, the incidents that occurred in recent days and weeks. In such a debate, I particularly want to discuss what happened in County Clare because it was a serious crime involving young people in what was allegedly a heinous rape of...

Seanad: Address by Mr. Seán Ó Neachtáin, MEP. (11 Dec 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join my colleagues in welcoming Mr. Ó Neachtáin, MEP, to the House, particularly as County Clare becomes part of the north-west constituency for the next election. Mr. Ó Neachtáin does not currently have to represent Clare, yet he does so and has spent a considerable length of time in the county over the past few months. He has been very effective there. The WTO talks have been of...

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Dec 2003)

Timmy Dooley: It must be important then.

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join with my colleagues in welcoming the programme researched and broadcast by RTE last night. Its revelations were shocking to most Members of this House and indeed to any right-minded person. I ask the Deputy Leader to consider a debate on the subject. There are implications for Departments other than the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, in particular for the Department of...

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. (27 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join with my colleagues in welcoming the Minister to the House to debate this important issue. Road safety has been recognised for many years as being of crucial importance. It is useful that the Minister has identified the difficulty with the Bill and is dealing with it in this way. The Bill, which as Senator Browne said is fairly straightforward, will allow for the implementation of...

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. (27 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator was never caught in that position.

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages. (27 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for his comments to the House and for responding to many of the issues that have been raised, some of which lay outside the terms of this Bill but it is always helpful when he makes the effort to respond to those points. We hope to see the Minister here again soon.

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join with Senator Brian Hayes in welcoming the legislation on road safety which the Minister proposes to bring before us tomorrow. We all agree that the introduction of penalty points in particular has led to phenomenal results in terms of road safety over the past 12 months. Some 70 lives have been saved. I am sure the Leader agrees that the Minister has acted quickly to introduce...

Seanad: Order of Business. (26 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: He has been here on at least three, if not four occasions over the past 12 months. I refute what Senators Brian Hayes and O'Toole said.

Seanad: Book of Estimates 2004: Statements. (26 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join with colleagues in welcoming the Minister of State and the publication of the Book of Estimates for this year. Great credit is due to the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, the Minister of State and the entire Government for achieving this remarkable level of public spending again this year. There is a 5% increase in public expenditure despite the straitened economic circumstances...

Seanad: Book of Estimates 2004: Statements. (26 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: —which has already been applied for. There is no doubt that the project fits all the criteria set out in the capital project from the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism. One of the major stumbling blocks is the local authority's inability to borrow under the Government guidelines and the current cap. Perhaps the Minister of State would examine this. The envisaged €3 billion borrowing...

Seanad: Book of Estimates 2004: Statements. (26 Nov 2003)

Timmy Dooley: Of course. I intended to discuss that later and I thank the Senator for reminding me of it. There is a greatly enhanced service between Ennis and Limerick and we greatly appreciate it. There has also been considerable investment in the DART. There is not enough time to address the many other issues involved in the Estimates. From the point of view of transport infrastructure, the Estimates...
