- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: Is there a necessity for a greater level of co-operation between the CRU and the EPA? I am not suggesting that there is no co-operation currently. Is there a need for a more clearly defined communication path, transfer of information, regular dialogue and some kind of a forum such that the red flag referred to by Dr. McGowan would not be required and there would be a method of verification...

Timmy Dooley: That would speak to a time when there was no shortage of economic activity, no constraints on the capacity to borrow, and no issues over the growth in the company's activity. It might be worth looking at what the chief executive was paid then. Was there was any curtailment of the capacity to fund the very large salary of the then chief executive and the associated entitlements?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Commission for Regulation of Utilities (9 Jul 2019)

To do that, however, the commission must have some expertise in the areas of health and safety and environmental risk. He might talk to us about that function within his organisation. While the commission does not have primary responsibility, and...

Timmy Dooley: I am just trying to be helpful in getting to a point that works. There is no charge to suggest not enough moneys were given. Clearly, under PR3, the resources set aside were more than adequate. Do the witnesses accept that there is probably a greater requirement to involve the EPA in that process in respect of the standards they are setting on the other side, such that everybody is aware...
