Seanad: Order of Business. (24 Feb 2004)

Timmy Dooley: I join Senators Tuffy, Norris, Hayes and others in the expression of sympathy to the families of those affected by the horrific bus crash at the weekend. Two investigations into the accident have been set up and two reports will be produced. As a member of the transport committee, I have asked the chairman that the committee considers those reports when they are issued. I ask the Leader to...

Seanad: Order of Business. (18 Feb 2004)

Timmy Dooley: While it is unfortunate that certain jobs have not materialised because of world economic conditions, it is important that the contribution of the Government to job creation in the last seven years is put on the record. In the period before the election many jobs did materialise and it is important that we make that clear.

Seanad: Proposed Stadium at Lansdowne Road: Statements. (5 Feb 2004)

Seanad: Proposed Stadium at Lansdowne Road: Statements. (5 Feb 2004)

Timmy Dooley: We all recognise there were tensions on all sides, from a political perspective and certainly within the sporting codes. There is now a resolution and we can move forward to the next business. I hate to hear the decrying which is taking place about the time lapse and where people will have to play. The decision has been made. Let us move on in a spirit of unity and in the knowledge that while...

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 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. (9 Dec 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join with my colleagues in welcoming the programme researched and broadcast by RTE last night.

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...
