Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I join others who have condemned in the strongest terms the approach of the Israeli Defence Forces and the police force in their actions during the funeral of Shireen Abu Akleh. It was a disgraceful attack on not just the Palestinian people, who are mourning one of their own, but also on a fundamental tenet of the democracy of any state, namely that of journalism. We all recognise the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Future of An Post Network: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Chairman very much. in fairness, I do not think I will need all of the time. I thank the Irish Postmasters Union for being here. It has appeared before this committee and its predecessor on many occasions. I compliment the witnesses again today on the very straightforward presentation they provided us with. I do not think they are asking for anything other than what they are...

Seanad: Situation in Ukraine: Motion (1 Jun 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I thank colleagues from across the House who have united to support this motion. I am deeply appreciative that people have put their political differences aside and that we as a Chamber have come together around an issue that we hold dear, as has been well ventilated by all sides. There has been a recognition by all of the principles of democracy and that every country has a right to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome Mr. Henry, whom I have known for some time. He has been before committees of these Houses previously and has a good understanding of the issues in the mid-west and the west generally. He said that he is in there, having a look around and will be back in due course. What would be success for him? He is a man driven by success. He has been very successful in virtually...

Timmy Dooley: That is not a bad approach.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That is really important. I thank Mr. Henry for that. I believe he has answered it correctly. Far too many people who have appeared before this committee in the past have talked about Shannon Group. Shannon Group has been used as a methodology of hiding the failure of the entire entity to increase passenger traffic. The whole thing is about aviation, but when Shannon Development was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: We will work with Mr. Henry on that. I am not asking him to commit to anything. However, I do not want to hear on Clare FM some morning or read a national press release with another line of slurry about how great the group is doing because there is-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That can be spun out. If a policy decision must be taken to spin out the property aspect and allow it be privatised, that is fine. Mr. Henry should not lose sight of this and he should not take the Kool-Aid that he may be presented with in certain quarters of society. The only thing that matters to the people who vote for Deputies McNamara, Carey, Cathal Crowe, me and whoever else is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (25 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: While I am not asking Mr. Henry to comment, in my view sight was lost. Figures were presented to this committee and to the public about how great the group was doing. It was just being presented as a block and an entity. Of course, employment came to the region because Shannon Group built factories. However, that was because IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland went after them. That is...

Timmy Dooley: I propose Senator Gerry Horkan.

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Jun 2022)

Timmy Dooley: In regard to the specific amendment I find myself largely in agreement with the approach taken by Senator Boylan relating to the scheduling of such meetings. That is a concern for IALPA. I have had numerous conversation with IALPA and found it to be upfront and straightforward about what it is trying to achieve in the best interests of the people they represent and the travelling public....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Philips for his very open and frank statement. Fair play to him. He put his hands up and said that it was his call based on the information that was available to him a number of months ago that too many people were let go, based on the knowledge of what has happened since. We can understand that. He has not concentrated on what happened last Sunday whereby 17 people were...
