Timmy Dooley: I welcome the regulator once again. I want to concentrate on the issue of security of supply.

Timmy Dooley: ...he acted on that call, in my humble opinion that would require Ms Hynes to set that out in her returns to SIPO. She knows that full well.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: DART Underground and Expansion Projects: National Transport Authority (5 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: What Mr. Creegan is saying is that the system of establishing the cost-benefit has changed and that is where the figure comes from. Is that correct? I have some information before me which I believe I got from the National Transport Authority through the freedom of information process. It sets out the appraisal sensitivity test. The base case involves high growth and a 60-year appraisal....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Accountability Report 2014: European Movement Ireland (21 Oct 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome Ms O'Connell and Ms Flynn and thank them for their continued participation in the entire European project with the committee. I have previously given my views on the limitations of the usefulness of the accountability report, which Ms O'Connell has already addressed. It is helpful in pointing in a particular direction, but it by no means gives the overall picture. When material...

Timmy Dooley: I try. However, when the freedom of information request is submitted, it can present a different slant or picture. I would like to see the European Movement Ireland try to develop a methodology that encompasses some kind of opinion. It needs to consider the effectiveness of the committee rather than those who attend or do not attend. It needs to consider how it works overall.

Other Questions: Harbour Authorities (17 Jun 2015)

Other Questions: Harbour Authorities (17 Jun 2015)

Timmy Dooley: The Minister is confirming what we already know through freedom of information letters, which disclosed that the Dún Laoghaire harbour board had failed to obtain ministerial consent for certain activities prior to commencement.

The expectation was that it would have been tabled in the House towards the end of last year to allow the new company, Shannon Group, to proceed with its activities in line with the decisions the Minister had taken to make Shannon an independent airport. It is very clear...

Independent Inquiries into Planning Irregularities: Motion (12 Jun 2012)

Timmy Dooley: The excuse that nothing had been done is completely refuted by the freedom of information material which my party has uncovered. It was a lazy excuse by a Government looking to cover up its own efforts to avoid the issue and to kick it to touch. This is disappointing. The matters dealt with by the inquiries were spurious, as the Minister, Deputy Hogan, put it at the time. Deputy Joanna...

European Union Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2009)

Timmy Dooley: I would like to believe this is a reflection of the work I did. The extent of the "No" vote may reflect the work of Deputy Ó Snodaigh. Perhaps the outcome was based on our work and not on the level of satisfaction, or otherwise, with the Government. The result in my county does not reflect the current level of satisfaction with the Government given the difficult measures it must...
