Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Nuevo Ireland is not offering a service whereby it puts in place the infrastructure at an airport and provides the service to the airport, airline or whatever. It is not a service provider but a technology-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I will give an example. If we had planes back in the air going through Shannon Airport in the morning and we were back to, say, 300-400 passengers per day, a fraction of what would have been going through, talk me through that scenario. How many personnel would be needed on site to get it done within an hour? Give us an idea of how that might work.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: So we are talking about €50 and a delay of about three hours. On the availability of the equipment, Mr. Lord said it was in the US. If Ireland was to move in this way as part of the introduction of the digital green cert and in conjunction with everything else that is happening across Europe, and if Mr. Lord was told that aviation would be beginning again by 1 July, how easy would it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Could Nuevo Ireland have 200 machines here for 1 June or 10 June?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Okay. That would do a small fraction of passengers. Will Mr. Lord provide the committee with a bit more detail around that, recognising where we would like to get to in terms of recovery-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: -----lead times, delivery times and all of that?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I call on the Leader to organise a debate on the Irish Water investment programme at the earliest opportunity. Every county in the country has issues with water and wastewater. In west Clare, there is a very serious issue with an ageing asbestos water pipe network that has been there for more than 50 years and has gone beyond its operational life span. There are recurring incidents of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Like others, I believe we have identified what was laid out at the weekend in terms of the housing crisis. The idea of global investment funds purchasing houses that were meant to be for first-time buyers has been responded to with shock. That shock has turned into outrage because it seems this practice is about to continue unabated. I welcome the position that the Taoiseach and the...

Seanad: European Digital Green Certificate: Statements (7 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Like others, I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, and thank him for the work he has done on this issue to date. I know that, committed European that he is, as we all like to think we are in this House, this is a welcome development. It is about underpinning one of the four fundamental freedoms upon which the European Union was founded and exists. I am relatively pleased with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Professor Ferguson for his comprehensive report. On the wider use of antigen testing, I have been contacted by individuals who believe there is an opportunity to carry out antigen testing within the hotel experience. There is concern that some people will be hesitant to visit hotels when they open next month owing to the mixing that takes place within a hotel environment. Based on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: How confident is Professor Ferguson that the existing tests will be sensitive to the variants? How quickly can the sensitivity of the kits be changed? Obviously, a great deal has been learned over recent months, but how quickly can testing be adapted to identify the variants that now exist?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I will ask a final question if I may.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Are all antigen tests the same? Is there a standard?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Many of the issues I wished to raise have already been clarified. I thank our guests. I wish to refine one or two points. Professor Stout is absolutely right regarding the way in which some of the schemes have penalised farmers for keeping land that was ultimately a benefit to the environment, biodiversity and nature generally. If a farmer allows certain scrubland to remain in that state,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: They are for Dr. Lysaght and Mr. Fogarty.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I am always taken by land that has been left unutilised in a productive sector being termed wasteland. If we have learned anything from the contributions of the witnesses today, such land is anything but wasteland. It is highly productive in terms of the protection of species and assisting in biodiversity.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business to take No. 12 on the Order Paper before No. 2. It is a Bill, entitled Clean Air (Smoky Coal Ban) Bill 2021, and it seeks to introduce a full ban on the sale of smoky coal. We are all well aware that smoky coal is a major factor in air pollution. The sale of smoky coal was banned in some parts of the country as early as the 1990s in an effort...

Seanad: Clean Air (Smoky Coal Ban) Bill 2021: First Stage (30 Apr 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for the introduction of regulations to prohibit the sale, marketing, distribution and burning of bituminous (smoky) coal on a nationwide basis; and to provide for related matters.

Seanad: Clean Air (Smoky Coal Ban) Bill 2021: First Stage (30 Apr 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Next Friday.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Increasing Wind Power on the National Grid: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Cunniffe for his presentation. We all recognise the importance of renewable energy as a significant part of meeting our electricity generation needs and the increased demand in that regard over the coming years. Where it gets a little more difficult is in the perception, or perhaps the reality in many cases, of the saturation point having been reached for onshore wind in many of...
