- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Aviation Authority: Chairperson Designate (24 Nov 2021)
Timmy Dooley: I will. All of these matters are in the public domain and all of my questions are ones that I think Ms Hynes should be prepared to answer. If she puts herself forward for a position like this then she should be prepared to answer my questions. If she chooses not to answer then there is nothing that I can about it.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: An Post: Chairperson Designate (24 Nov 2021)
Timmy Dooley: The Chairman has had to step out for a moment so I am stepping into his role. The first person up is Deputy Crowe. Since he is not here, I will take the couple of minutes assigned to him. I thank Ms Bolger for her work on the board to date. I know the role she will take on as chairman.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (18 Nov 2021)
Timmy Dooley: I will try not to be repetitive. Much of what we want to elicit has already been addressed. I ask Ms O'Keeffe or Mr. Clonan to try to characterise for us the relationship between them, as the central edifice of the Coast Guard, and the volunteers. There are representative groupings and organisations. Will they speak for a minute to how they characterise that relationship and where it is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (18 Nov 2021)
Timmy Dooley: I ask the guests to speak about what happened in Doolin. I am interested in understanding how we arrived at that position. I am not doing so to apportion blame but to try to understand if there are learnings from what happened so that it is not repeated elsewhere. I want to understand the relationship and engagement between volunteers and the Irish Coast Guard. How does the Coast Guard...
