Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Many people would be very happy with that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: So Mr. Meade is working on the principle of having hydrogen on the rail network?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: On the western rail corridor, which others have mentioned, I have been in contact with Mr. Meade and his predecessors about the opening of the station at Crusheen. Could he talk to us about the current position on the further development of the western rail corridor? Does he envisage potential in that regard?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: My final point is very local. There is a trespass issue at Sixmilebridge station. Is there anything Mr. Meade might want to, or can, say to us about that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: It is an issue for commuters. Mr. Meade is familiar with it. Others and I regularly hear concerns about it. There are wider legal issues but it needs to be-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: And efforts are being made to solve it?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: The Leader may be aware that the week commencing 28 February to 6 March is to be Eating Disorder Week. I raised this issue previously in the House, and I know that it is one the Leader is very familiar with. Notwithstanding that the Government set aside significant amounts of money last year and this year, there is a considerable delay in rolling out appropriate services. I believe there...

Seanad: Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures Bill 2022: Second Stage (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister. Like many others, I welcome the Government intervention in assisting people with the significant cost-of-living increase, particularly concentrated in the energy sector. The €200 benefit payment and €125 lump sum payment on the fuel allowance will not solve all the losses people for sure, particularly those on low pay and in receipt of social welfare,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That is okay. I will keep it very brief. I thank Mr. Cullen for his presence here and thank him on behalf of his organisation and the work it does for his ongoing engagement with the political process. He is probably one of the most active in terms of his engagement with this committee and other Members around matters that are of serious concern, not just to his members, but to the wider...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: We are going back to -----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That was my next question. Is there a documented history of information being provided to the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA? They need not get into it in detail. Maybe they can provide it to the committee afterwards. Is there evidence that shows there has been ongoing communication with the IAA over a period of time? Is it fair to say that nothing happened until an accident occurred, all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That brings me to the next point. That sets a context for the legislation, which we are now being asked to rubber-stamp or accept, coming from Government which ultimately is a culmination of discussions that have gone on, principally within the Department of Transport, I would have thought, in consultation with the IAA. They are effectively saying to us as legislators that we do not really...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: It is not so much the maps for me now. That sets a context where the IAA - I do not want to apportion blame - certainly did not seem to take cognisance of the errors that existed on maps up to a point. That is probably for somewhere else to be adjudicated on, but for us to take as a context in which we address the points that are being raised by the pilots.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Not at all, but it has been highlighted where the charts were prior to a particular event and how they improved afterwards. Based on what has been raised with us, and particularly with what Mr. Brereton has talked about, we need to bring the aviation authority and the Department back in to discuss that peer support issue. I am taken by the evidence that was given today. We all accept that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That is striking.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I was personally aware of one or two.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I am familiar with one or two of them. I knew the families. That is the most striking thing that has been highlighted today. Based on the evidence, there is nothing more they can tell me-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: -----that we have to consider after that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I would suggest then, in conclusion, following on from whatever other discussions there are with other members, that the Chairman, on behalf of the committee, would write to the Department and the IAA and we bring them back in together to address this very specific issue. We might also seek the advice of an independent human resources expert who deals with mental health issues in the main to...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Tourism Industry (8 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House to address this matter. As she will know, Shannon Heritage is the tourism attraction division of the Shannon Group. It comprises Bunratty Castle, King John's Castle, Craggaunowen Castle and Knappogue Castle. It has the management contracts for a number of other facilities around the country. As the Minister of State will know, this...
