Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: It was a very interesting presentation. Mr. Cogan makes a compelling case about the impact it can have upfront and the fact there is no requirement to adapt the internal combustion engine or to make any major modifications at the forecourt. My only concern relates to the availability of the product and its sustainability. I look on it from the point of view of the importation of fracked...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: There are a number of plants here. If, as Mr. Cogan states, there is such a dearth of the product in global supply, there is no need for additional infrastructure to be built.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: My first question is for Mr. Hogan from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. Regarding the Department's interactions with local authorities that ultimately take many of the planning decisions, and in respect of much of the work with developers and setting out the agenda that will meet the demands or policy objectives that exist, what is his general sense of preparedness...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: On that final point, Mr. Hogan has reminded me of a bugbear of mine. Many villages dotted throughout rural Ireland are, effectively, derelict. Villages close to my area have between 15 and 25 derelict properties because of the nature of the ownership where the owner is deceased and the property has not been passed on, there is no title and so forth. It would be much more sensible for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: A section in it refers to what transport in our cities and rural areas will look like in 2050 so I take Mr. Brady's point that it is about the future. However, should we not get the input from society now in respect of where we are going? Of course, there will be advances and, as a former Minister said, it will be a rolling and iterative process, which is grand, but more time should have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EirGrid: Chairman Designate (26 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome Mr. Tuohy and thank him for his presentation. He set out a good understanding of the challenges facing EirGrid and he is familiar with the fact that parts of the grid are creaking, particularly in a large urban area like Dublin. He is aware that electricity is generated from gas on mobile generators in certain parts of the city in order to meet the demand of the growing population...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EirGrid: Chairman Designate (26 Nov 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EirGrid: Chairman Designate (26 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Because of the state of the grid at present, in plenty of industrial estates around this city there are mobile generators powered by, in some cases, oil but principally gas in order to generate electricity for the demand of that particular industrial zone. That does not seem like a good overall plan. It is something that needs to be addressed in the future.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (26 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I thank both the witnesses for their presentations. I think I was among a number of people who raised this issue back when Apple made an announcement - it was probably reported in The Guardianor one of those publications - that a number of people had been let go because of the issue of human review of sensitive private conversations. We were probably all a little concerned that more...
