Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I am pleased to say that Fianna Fáil will be supporting this Bill, as we recognise the importance of making a strong shift away from our reliance on fossil fuels to cleaner, greener forms of energy. The Bill is part of a global campaign to highlight the need to reduce fossil fuel dependence to prevent dangerous temperature increases. The reality is that there is a climate change crisis...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I had the opportunity yesterday evening to outline my deep concerns on the state of the roll-out of broadband. There is nothing between the Minister and me in policy terms; the issue is around the methodology. The Minister is right to say he has provided a considerable amount of information on broadband but, sadly, we have not had broadband itself. I have raised very real concerns with the...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Any time I asked the Minister to give me a timeline, his simple answer was that it was not about timing and that the matter was far too important for that. He said it was more important to get it right because the contract was going to exist for 25 years. When I bring forward an idea about trying to get it right, however, time becomes a problem again. Time is only an issue when something...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Whether that is true, the Minister can confirm to me. The simple fact is that the process, at this stage, does not have the confidence of the people who expect to be served. Certainly, I do not have confidence in it. It is the Minister's prerogative. He has responsibility and, if he chooses to ignore the outcome of tomorrow's vote, let it be on his head. If the Minister gives any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Chairman for facilitating me. I am not a member of the committee, but I was made aware that two of my constituents were here. I was really impressed to see them on television last night. As they did an excellent job, I had better pull up my socks, as it seems that there is competition coming down the track. I was delayed in getting here because I was on the Today with Sean...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Perhaps it is not rocket science as we seem to think. In a different generation parents had to deal with the advent of drink, drugs and other issues that had the potential to impact negatively on children. It is still a battle to address the issue of alcohol as some have the view that drugs are bad and drink is good. At what age do young people start to drink? The law indicates that a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (8 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Can we get clarity on the rules of the House concerning that? Standing Orders can be set aside by the Chairman, if necessary. I hope we are all responsible. We do not want the Minister to give information that might compromise the work under way. It is clear that we have just one bidder but I do not believe the notion of commercial sensitivity, which is normally one of the greatest...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (8 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Can I get clarity, Chairman? I am a Member of this House since 2002. I have sat on various committees and this is the first time I have heard such claptrap. The notion that somehow if the Minister leaves the officials can say something is bonkers.
