Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU-UK Reform Negotiations: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister of State and his officials and thank him for the comprehensive outline of the state of play. Migration is a relatively significant issue for me. Across Europe, there has been a lack of movement on achieving a resolution, notwithstanding that there probably can be no immediate resolution. There is inertia. While it is identified as the highest priority, it almost...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (20 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Nolan and Mr. Creegan for their presentations and appreciate that they have come before the joint committee. I wish to focus on the Expressway service. Mr. Nolan indicated that the service made a loss in 2015. I understand the accounts for 2015 have not been fully prepared but will he indicate the scale of the projected losses and the impact this will have in 2016? Does Mr....

Timmy Dooley: Is Mr. Nolan in any way concerned for the future survival of Expressway?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (20 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: Yes, but that could see a significant reduction in activity in certain areas. Is it likely that Bus Éireann will pull Expressway out of certain markets on the basis that it is not possible for Expressway to survive in those markets?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (20 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: That is really important because people often forget the connectivity provided by Bus Éireann. The backbone of its network across the State allows people to connect at various locations. Much of the competition is coming from point-to-point services. There is no doubt that competition is good. It has certainly improved the service provided by the company. If competition continues -...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (20 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: I would like to ask another question before Mr. Gaston comes in. I assume licences are issued for particular periods rather than in perpetuity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (20 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: Has the NTA ever failed to renew any of the licences it had issued on the basis that the best decision was not made on day one? We recognise that not everyone gets it right all the time.

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (21 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister of State for bringing the Bill before the House. Fianna Fáil will be supporting the Bill, which is technical in nature.

Leaders' Questions (21 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: The floods in December destroyed homes and businesses across the country, including farmlands and farm buildings. More than 260 families had to leave their homes. Many others were unable to access their homes, which was not a direct result of homes being floods but was due to roads being flooded. The floods are still receding in many areas and the true cost of the damage is still unknown....

Leaders' Questions (21 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: Unfortunately, the reality is that there are still many families in total and absolute despair as they try to deal with the damage caused by the deluge. Many do not have insurance and are facing a huge burden as a result of additional costs. The families had the cost of renting or purchasing pumps during the peak of the storms. Electricity use increased as heat was kept on in flooded homes...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: Is the Tánaiste confident that her Department has issued the appropriate guidelines to community welfare officers to the effect that all reasonable costs associated with the damage done to homes can now be claimed from her Department? It is a simple question. She seemed to indicate that there may be a delay in some of the claims coming forward. Will she pay on account, so that as...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: Just for clarity and to be helpful, I am not talking about the architecture or the structure at all; I am talking about the leaching of the toxic material in the septic tank being spread around the site. That has to be cleaned up and it requires expertise to come in and take away that sludge from the lawns and driveways of homes.
