Timmy Dooley: ...come before us. The statistics that were presented were really shocking to all of us and to society at large. I accept that the Courts Service has subsequently clarified the matter.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Conviction Rates for Drink Driving: Discussion (25 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: That is really helpful. The average citizen finds it virtually impossible to comprehend how, when the Garda has a sample that is clearly above the prescribed limit and an individual from whom the sample was taken, that individual could walk out of court, sit into his or her car and drive home. That is most difficult for those who have suffered at the hands or wheel of a drunk driver. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed) (6 May 2015)

Timmy Dooley: ...roads and that is positive. However, some issues are potentially problematic. Some studies have shown that death and injury increase when the level of detection and enforcement reduces. The Garda Traffic Corps has been reduced in line with the difficulties we have had in the economy and while there is a lot of fanfare again around an increase in garda numbers the numbers are not at...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Road Traffic Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Apr 2015)

Timmy Dooley: ...the pre-publication stage rather than through amendments later. One of the most significant issues that has bedevilled drink-driving laws for many years is challenges in the courts as to how a garda formed the opinion that someone had consumed alcohol. People were able to successfully challenge this for decades. The difficulty I have with the impairment notion is that it is...

Topical Issue Debate: Road Safety Data (24 Mar 2015)

Timmy Dooley: ...is the one where penalty points are most likely to be issued to motorists. As a result, it has one of the lowest rates of death and injury on the roads.

Topical Issue Debate: National Car Test (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...Minister's approach to dealing with the matter on a regional basis and I welcome his announcement of additional testing staff. I recognise that the Minister is not in a position to encourage the Garda to exercise discretion, but I hope that until such time as the backlog has been addressed, the penalty by way of fixed notice will not be enforced. I hope common sense will prevail,...

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...will not be as beneficial as might be. If it overachieves, however, she will have one hell of a problem resolving what she said at the weekend.

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...the HSE about this, it was informed the policies have not yet been implemented even though they were announced more than ten days ago.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...in a non-partisan way but there is a trend towards another increase which starts to show we are losing the battle in this.
