Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: ComReg’s Enforcement Functions: Discussion (22 May 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the commissioner, Ms Dixon. We are delighted to have her before the committee on this occasion. I recognise and thank her for the work she did as Data Protection Commissioner. She comes to this new role with a considerable amount of experience as a public servant, and we look forward to working with her, as the Oireachtas did in her previous role. From Ms Dixon's short time with...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I am sure the Acting Leader and Leas-Chathaoirleach will join with me and others in recognising the efforts of careful and true diplomacy over rhetoric and rushing to judgment. I refer to the approach taken by the Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin, around the situation in the Middle East and the careful way he has managed his brief over recent months in reaching a point where today...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport (Arms Embargo) Bill 2024: Second Stage (29 May 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. It is timely and appropriate that we address this and look at everything we possibly can do as a country to effect the change necessary to bring about a peaceful settlement in the Middle East between the State of Israel and what I believe should be the State of Palestine. Like everyone in this House, I absolutely concur that the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Jun 2024)

Timmy Dooley: We have had a number of discussions in this House about migration and its implications for this country, but it would be timely that we have another discussion, particularly about some of the accommodation issues.A situation has developed in Shannon where an old office building was converted and upgraded during the height of the Ukrainian crisis to accommodate up to 100 Ukrainians, mainly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome Mr. Jacobs and his team. They are before the committee again. It is good to have them. I have a couple of questions. On the second runway, will the representatives give us some idea of the positive impact that has had in getting aeroplanes away in the early morning and at peak times? I still hear from people who use Dublin Airport that there is still some congestion,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I am tight on time, but before Mr. MacCarthy contributes, I wish to raise a matter that relates to the cap on parking at Dublin. Has anyone examined the idea of the airport having a park-and-ride facility in Naas or somewhere similar on the western road? My mother trained as a nurse in the UK. In her early days of travelling to the UK, people would check in somewhere on O’Connell...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the witnesses for both presentations. They were thought-provoking. I wonder, with regard to the innovation, should we be leaving it to the industry to innovate or should we have a State agency that is looking at best practice across the globe, in terms of trying to reach a firm decision on the direction we take? We have to take into account what Mr. Fitzpatrick said. There is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Timmy Dooley: It is competitive. You are bidding against X or Y so you are not going to go 10% above because you have got to innovate for potentially more green, where there is a price differential as well. What I am trying to get to is whether a standard should be set to a level.
