Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: Most Members will be familiar with the problems associated with pyrite and mica. However, they may not be aware that the schemes involving restitution for those affected by these issues are limited to certain areas, namely, counties Mayo and Donegal in respect of the defective block scheme and parts of counties Dublin and Meath in respect of pyrite. The pyrite scheme has been extended to...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: Broadband has been promised to every house in the State for over ten years now. It remains no more than a promise. The Government last year signed a contract with National Broadband Ireland to the value of approximately €3 billion. Since then, we have heard precious little from National Broadband Ireland on when it intends to begin the installation of broadband. At the time, the...

Seanad: Parliamentary Precincts and Privilege: Motion (23 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: I move: That, for the avoidance of doubt, office premises ordinarily occupied by staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission shall be considered to form part of the parliamentary precincts for the purpose of the giving of evidence by witnesses, by means of such specified videoconferencing platform as may be approved and provided by the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, to any...

Seanad: Railway Safety (Reporting and Investigation of Serious Accidents, Accidents and Incidents Involving Certain Railways) Bill 2020: Second Stage (23 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister to the House. Fianna Fáil is happy to support the legislation, which probably does not come as a big surprise to the Minister. We support it because it is technical in nature and is required due to the transposition of the EU directive that the Minister has identified. Like the Minister, I am somewhat concerned that it has taken so long to get the legislation to...

Seanad: Railway Safety (Reporting and Investigation of Serious Accidents, Accidents and Incidents Involving Certain Railways) Bill 2020: Second Stage (23 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: I am digressing a little to broaden the point but I will conclude and bring it all back. The Cathaoirleach need not worry about that.

Seanad: Railway Safety (Reporting and Investigation of Serious Accidents, Accidents and Incidents Involving Certain Railways) Bill 2020: Second Stage (23 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: I will try to bring it back on track as soon as possible. It is very important to continue our effort to invest substantial amounts of capital moneys in our infrastructure. Public transport is under pressure at present because of the necessity for separation and due to level 5 measures, we have been obliged to reduce to 25% the usage of the facilities but we should be looking to the medium...

Seanad: Health (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (23 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: It is regrettable, in the first instance, that we in the House have to bring forward legislation such as this. It is symptomatic of a desire on the part of certain people to ignore the basic guidelines. Looking through the window of where society currently is, there is the zero-Covid side on one extreme and, on the other, the herd immunity analysis. The reality is that most people are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (27 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: I thank both parties for their important evidence today. Mr. Cornelis will have heard Mr. Brandon of the Irish Aviation Authority talk about the weaknesses in the traffic light system. Perhaps Mr. Cornelis will talk to us, from his vantage point, about how he thinks that might be strengthened or what the likelihood is of getting a more harmonised approach at EU level. There is no point in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Oct 2020)

Timmy Dooley: I thank our guests for the comprehensive presentations they set out, on behalf of their sector, in a strong way. I expect that if we had people from the hospitality or retail sectors before us, we would hear similar passion about the reopening of their sectors. It is a fact at the moment that Ireland is, under the traffic light system, considered to be in a red zone. Can our guests...
