Timmy Dooley: I am disturbed that Senator Browne has accepted defeat in terms of the ability of Fine Gael to offer some level of opposition. It is not surprising that this side of the House, as well as governing, will also have to provide a credible Opposition from within. There is a wide diversity of views, as there always would be with parties such as Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats. However,...

Timmy Dooley: —to ensure delivery in the areas to which the Senator referred. I welcome the Minister of State and recognise that both he and the Minister, Deputy Séamus Brennan, have been present for debates in the House on many occasions. Both he and the Minister are responsible for a job of work that is fundamental to the development of the State. Much of the motion is concerned with congestion which...

Seanad: Dublin Traffic Congestion: Motion. (11 Jun 2003)

Timmy Dooley: The Tallaght strategy was useful but it was a recognition of the difficulties of Fine Gael as it brought the country almost to the verge of bankruptcy. The economic policy pursued since 1987 has caused some of the problems with congestion. It is not the fault of the Government but one of the teething problems associated with repositioning the economy and creating development. The measures set...

Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Jun 2003)

Timmy Dooley: I join colleagues on the other side of the House in asking for a debate, at the earliest opportunity, in regard to the debacle with interest rates.
