Timmy Dooley: ...argument. Littering is another matter. I spoke at length the last day about this and I do not intend to repeat myself. We must find an appropriate manner in this country for the collection of waste. As far as we can, we must limit the supply of material that can be cast aside after single use, and that is important. In parallel with that, we must have a collection system that is fit...

Seanad: Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to discuss this legislation in the House. This whole Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill should be about ensuring a reduction of the usage of plastic in our economy. If the Minister of State looks to the wider European approach, they have taken a more macro approach. I am thinking of Italy and other countries,...

Timmy Dooley: ...the company and the region. I could spend an hour giving out about Aer Lingus and its approach to Shannon over the years. I am deeply frustrated with its activities but that would be a pointless waste of the few minutes I have. I am equally frustrated with the Government, of which the party I am a member of is part. I was frustrated with the mandatory hotel quarantine, the focus on...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018)

Timmy Dooley: An issue we discussed extensively last year was waste management and potential difficulties arising from changes in the way in which recyclable materials would be collected. As the Minister knows, it is on the agenda again, with a particular company changing its charging structure. At the time there was much talk about the necessity to change consumer behaviour and I know that some money...

Waste Disposal: Motion [Private Members] (4 Jul 2017)

Timmy Dooley: ..., so it is not entirely on the Minister's shoulders. If, however, the same lethargy is holding sway again, we will proceed and move to bring our own Bill forward. I ask the Minister to use his contacts in waste collection sector to seek to continue the moratorium on price increases for that period of time. The Taoiseach indicated earlier today that he does not expect to see any change...

Waste Collection Charges: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2016)

Timmy Dooley: ...hand for all the wrong reasons and sometimes we do not discuss the issues in the context in which they need to be addressed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Emissions Readings for Volkswagen Cars: Discussion (21 Oct 2015)

Timmy Dooley: With respect, from my perspective, that is a wasted exercise. It should be as plain as day what happened and why it happened. Volkswagen had an engine that did not meet the standards and somebody within the organisation decided to manipulate test results through the electronic components. That has been established. How Volkswagen manages its business behind the scenes in terms of the...
