Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Just for completeness, when the investigation Facebook has under way is completed perhaps it will provide the material to this committee, insofar as it can. Would the witnesses make a commitment on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I will be brief. Ms Sweeney referred to the possibility of appointing a digital safety commissioner but I get the sense there is some reticence. There are parallels in that reticence with the language of the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach has made his interest in Mr. Zuckerberg and Facebook known. He has shown great excitement about both. On the most recent occasion on which I saw the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I forgot to state that the digital age of consent is 16. Ms Sweeney and Ms Cummiskey have mentioned the age of 13. Does Facebook intend to change its parameters and policy to take account of the changes envisaged on that issue?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Impact of Retirement Packages for Postmasters: Discussion (4 Sep 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Maye, Mr. O'Callaghan and Mr. Duddy for their presentation today which is very thought-provoking. There is certainly room for a debate on the way in which our banking model works in this State. However, our primary concern is the post office network and while I accept that the PBFI is offering a potential solution to the maintenance of the network by the creation of this bank, I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Impact of Retirement Packages for Postmasters: Discussion (4 Sep 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome both presentations. I thank Mr. McRedmond, who set out what this is about, namely, restructuring An Post. It is a commercial, semi-State company and that is its mandate. Mr. McRedmond has to look at viability in terms of profit and loss. He has a responsibility to the shareholders and the board of directors to exercise his fiduciary duty, and he has done that. The Minister's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Impact of Retirement Packages for Postmasters: Discussion (4 Sep 2018)

Timmy Dooley: This is important because it gets to the nub of the matter. I have also picked that up from some media interviews the Minister has given where he talked about "some or all" of the business. If "some or all" of the business includes social welfare payments, there is no difference between him and me. If all the business can transfer to another business in the community, that will be a result...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Impact of Retirement Packages for Postmasters: Discussion (4 Sep 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (5 Sep 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I wish to thank Ms Justice Laffoy, the secretariat to the Citizens' Assembly and indeed the members of the assembly itself for the very important work that they have done. Ms Justice Laffoy is here to represent them today and I want to offer our thanks to them through her. As always, Ms Justice Laffoy has given a very comprehensive presentation so there is a limited number of questions...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (5 Sep 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Would Ms Justice Laffoy also accept that there is an onus on all of us to demystify the language and to try to move from the academic to the practical? She rightly identified the advocacy groups and I believe that all of them are exceptionally well-meaning and have that capacity in their own way to break down the science and the academia of this topic. There is so much evolving and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (5 Sep 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I thank our guests for their thoughtful presentation. I have a number of questions. What our guests indicated that their model shows is borne out by what we see in society generally. I was taken with the point to the effect that the fluctuation in fuel prices here has been so far above the median that there is an expectation that people will just continue to do what they do and that...
